Stupid map. If you start on the left side it is impossible unless you get lucky and take out the commander that started on the right side of the map. He gets twice the reinforcements and growing. Dumb. Ruins the game.

This map is just as bad as that stupid feeling blue map. Half of the combos for bonus armies aren't even connected in the least bit and the AI that starts up north has a huge advantage in armies right from the start. Just another map with only 1 or 2 solutions and a lot of frustration. I don't mind hard maps, but this and that feeling blue map are just totally ridiculous.

I'm sorry but this map is just simply too hard. I've had so much fun with all the maps up until this point, even the really challenging ones. But this one is just so hard to the point of being not fun. I can't even consider this a challenge. No more than a mountaineer would consider climbing Everest completely naked a challenge, i.e. it is just simply impossible and you will fail every time you attempt it no matter what :( sorry for being so negative but its just how this map makes me feel

This map is a ridiculous jump in difficulty from the last one. You went from a tedious match to a nearly impossible one in one level. Not being able to see enemy troops and then giving the Ali's the advantage by giving them more access to land was too much in one go.

The large spread-out bonuses are unlikely to help anyone except a large player sweeping the map. This seems like a flaw to me, but otherwise I like the map.

It seems to be a toss up how well you will do. You can get overwhelmed rather easily most of the times I have played. Looking at the history I had success since the 3 AIs put up an actual fight against each other for the first time.

Unique and elaborate map with complex and unexpected areas and beautiful zone names. Takes some time before you get familiar with all those irregularities. PS: I agree with comments like "huge leap in difficulty, unbeatable", but I think they miss the instruction "comment the map, not the ruleset". Surely there must exist a custom game setting or player distribution under which this map will work great.

From the original sprites of Oryx, wich are used in the mad god and many other games. I did some modifications on it and use some anti-aliasing to create a mixed pixel art - curve shapes style.

I look at the reviews and see people rate it too hard. It isn't - it just requires good strategy as well as some knowledge of how opposing leaders likely operate. It's one of my favorites.
Strategy: learn to read army bonuses so that your beginning moves are the most efficient. You can consistently earn more than anyone, way more by turn 9. Understand how computer players work and how you can only use 1 army seomtimes if you attack last.
I finished this once in 10 turns (lucky) but have conquered the entire map with every territory in 13 turns. So this is a good learning level.

The bonuses aren't very convenient to understand. They're neat and all, but it's just annoying having to scroll half the map to find what bonus corresponds to what.
Also, I'm not the biggest fan of how.. tangled up? the territories in the southern corner.
Overall, pretty good though

The shapes within the larger shape idea was inventive, and makes for some rather odd routes/connections between territories. I am uncertain how well this can be balanced.
However, this odd layout makes this a terrible map for the single-player experience with blind play/recon cards (which themselves are an iffy implementation).

abessonov on 7/28/2021.
This is a great, unique map with roughly balanced bonuses that make it interesting to play. In addition, it holds several chokepoints and ambush spots that encompass a strong strategic element that provides good gameplay for all skill levels.
I understand that many players are having trouble getting past the "Three Blind Mice" associated with this map, so I will offer a few pointers to start out the scenario. First, to get an advantageous position, one should expand more heavily upwards (with more armies) initially, but should also steadily move downwards. At the encounter with the first AI, start deploying more armies and it should be caught off guard. Finally, you should also maintain a stronghold on the central island, and do not wedge yourself into the neighboring fray until you have a clear advantage, which is a mistake many novice players make.

Certainly an unusual take, with valuable territories as individual dots within a larger territory. Also, some of the most random-looking collections of territories scattered around the map to make up a bonus. (There are also the usual collections of adjacent territories to make up a bonus.) Your mileage may vary.

Extremely poorly balanced. The oases give comically huge bonuses and can all be defended by garrisoning 4 provinces. The player starts on the exact opposite side of the map, so clearly the way to win reliably is to ignore absolutely everything else and make a mad dash to these 4 provinces. Whichever AI starts White Elf Highness has a massive advantage and the other AIs behave like helpless children.

Playing blind makes this map too difficult.
It took quite a few tries to beat and the only reason I won was examining previous losses to see where the commander moved. (And also thanks to reading the many forum posts wherein others were struggling as well)
If the AI had the first move on the last turn I would have likely lost again.
I recommend speeding up the recon card rate.

I don't mind a challenge but this was just unfairly too much. Please fix, I feel like I finally won this time out of pure luck not skill. The territories just completely don't make sense. Specifically the dotted territories that are just not necessary. Just very disappointed, now that I've beaten this map I will never play it again, I don't mean to be harsh nor mean it's just my opinion.

Response by map creator

I think the extra bonuses are only ornaments in this map, because if someone can take either ethnical bonus, he has already won the game in fact. The potentially useful extra bonuses are the 4 cornerbonuses.
