Description

After the conquest of the peninsula, the muslims suffered a counterattack of asturian rebellions. The revolt had begun.
A few years Christian armies from France, also known as crusaders, helped the revolt in their fight against the muslim from the south.
Which side will you fight for? The mighty Crusades or the fearsome Muslims?

There are three distribuction modes on this map:

- 1 vs 1 (recomended) - each player starts with one territory.

- 1 vs 1 / 2 vs 2 - Team mode - chose either 4 south territories or the other 4 from the North.

- Full distribution (default)

Great 1v1 play, although the christian side seems to have a slight advantage

Good map, but the south have a massive advantage. The player that starts in Algeciras is almost certain to win.

The map is nice, but the scenario for 2 players is completely unbalanced: starting in the South it was an easy win, while starting in the North it was impossible to withstand the enemy.
I've not tried the other distribution modes, but since you recomend the 1vs1 I assume the map was intended to be played that way.

Played it against 6 AI players and it was a fun and challenging on such a small map.
