Great map, but you will need to study it before you play. Some 'secret' way are not obvious at first (cave to cave and tower to tower). Also because to have to follow paths, I find multiplayer more enjoyable (can be overcome with airlift card).

40 armies starting for the AI and only 4 for players is a slaught3r, not a challenge

Starting next to an enemy while the farther enemy with more options to expand is not conducive to winning. Having the farther enemy start with more armies to begin with is nearly overwhelming at this level of game play.

Review by Lon on 6/16/2018.

It's ridiculous that one army starts with 50 troops and you start with zero! Then you must try to defeat that army as well as another one the same size as yours, at the same time! It's impossible, and I can't progress without defeating them! What's the point in continuing to play a game you cannot win or even progress in?!?!

I think this is one of the most fun maps for playing in between Europe and the other frequently played maps.

Pretty fun for few games, but doesn't hold up well in long-term. In 1vs1 there is basically one optimal starting strategy and after turn 2 it's pretty obvious who's gonna win. For 3vs3 there's not enough room and it's easy for players to get stuck. I didn't play enough 2vs2 here to give more objective opinion, but I guess there will be similar problems. I guess you might solve some of this problems with gift, airlift and abandon/blockade cards to some extension, but still it easily get's predictable and repetitive. Nice graphic design though.

Map placement is not random. In the worst spot to work from. Far side always has more time to collect army counts. Takes several tries to start a game but the window buttons do not work. Least favorite of all the maps so far. I give up.

This was a great map, with the fantasy theme and interesting terrain types pulled off very well. The addition of the caves, towers, etc. added an extra dimension of strategy. All in all a perfect 5/5!

I'm not really playing Warlight : I'm playing Drakemor, again, and again, and again. This is the best map of all.

Review by Tip Top Morty on 4/4/2018.

AI starts with a bunch of troops. Turn 2 one of them have 52 armies already. While on turn 2 I only have the original 9 from start. Needs some work

Review by SilentRogue on 2/5/2019.

Absolutely horrible map for single player. No matter what direction you go you end up facing an army twice your size. I have employed a different strategy each time but the outcome is always the same. Sadly this means that when playing single player I cannot get past Kill or be Killed and my two very short days here is coming to an end not even one quarter of the way into it. Also when a new turn starts and you get to deploy new armies the AI ALWAYS puts out just enough in the area you target to thwart your impending attack. It's about as much fun as playing the shell game on a street corner in New York.

Review by uhClem on 8/20/2016.

String maps like this amplify the steamroller problem of Risk-type games. There's only one way to play it -- always advance on every front until you're set up for the final strike. If you do that without error it's unloseable; if you make an error it's unwinnable. You get surplus resources so you never have to prioritize, the forced paths mean you don't get to make any decisions, and with variable bonuses all over the place it strongly resists having balanced starting positions.

Review by Gen.M on 10/28/2018.

The map is fine but the game is set up unfairly with the Pink player starting with about 40 armies and Blue and Red starting with 0

Review by Bob Bobinski on 2/15/2019.

This is a terrible map unfairly weighted so that anybody starting on the right side wins due to its mostly self-contained but high output nature. Additionally the overall structure of a map where there is often only 1 border promotes brute force over strategy. It has NO redeeming qualities.

Complex at first but lots of fun. Sea routes should be worth some bonuses though.

Review by gnarly_mateo on 11/29/2020.

I know it says that this is intended to rate the map itself, and this is a good map. warzone.com doesn't offer any way to complain about the level that your map is featured on. The level "Kill or be killed" is WAY too hard and as far as I know, impossible. What makes it so impossible is first, AI 2 starts out with FIFTY troops. I found myself asking, "Where in the hell are they getting all these troops?" This is extremely overpowered, considering second, AI 2 has access to the two wizard towers on the east side of the map. This makes enables AI 2 to expand their territory much faster than AI 1 and the player. Thirdly, the player and AI 1 are too close together on the west side of the map and have to fight each other, expending resources while AI 2 can enjoy their head start and expand freely with no competition. Now, let me make this clear: I love the map, which is why I gave it five stars. The purpose of this comment is so that by some chance, whoever is in charge of the maps sees this, and fixes the level.

Review by kaminomikan on 4/22/2021.

really, you can't take your time to conquer this map, (on single player) if you don't rush it, you can't win, when you face the central enemy it already has more units than you can place.

get Mashaka Preacher with the minimum units (6-10), and stop there don't waste units facing the enemy there because it will be you using your 30-40 against 90+ when you meet

hold the other enemy in Imperial Song track 6 (take your commander and keep like 12-16) and advance to the assassin safe house (at this point you should have 35-40 units to place, that enemy should have something between 7-15, and the other enemy should be nearing 40+)

the remaining units, should be put on the Imperial Port route and follow the middle to Western Vortex, Southern Vortex, Blackport (you should have 130+ units when you reach it in turn 16) add all your available units there on turn 17 and you will face the enemy commander with 150+ units you win by the end of the turn.

This is a fun map, very simple with an interesting and different design.

The map consists of several bonus buidings that consist of 1 territory, and several bonus areas which include roads and those buidings. Each of these areas connects to the other with a limited amount of gateways and through road networks.

I give it a 4/5, it's a fun map, but the limited amount of connections is a problem.
