Description

Land of Numerical Armies was created to get my feet wet in the art of Warlight map making and to experiment with a layout of multiple strongholds. Abandon and Blockade cards perform nicely here.

Feedback is appreciated, especially regarding the balance of play.

v1.1 - Fixed neutral territories intended for bonuses

Reviews

Review by Aenye Deithven on 7/7/2013.
Nice map for a quick playthrough. Good overall balance, making the game interesting even though the bonuses are vastly overpowered. I understand that this may have been done to speed up gameplay, focusing more on PvP or PvE. Even so, halving the bonuses would provide the same focus, while making the playthrough more interesting. "Dictionary-based" province names are bearable, but if you have 'kingdoms', one would expect 'proper' names. All in all, an entertaining map with quite the potential, but needs more love on the author's part to remove the 'unfinished' feeling it gives off. 4/5

PS: If this is actually your first map, then it would be one of the best starts I have ever seen. Congratulations !
Response by map creator Megli on 7/7/2013
Thanks for the feedback. This is indeed my first map. More are in the works but it's slow going. I've been expecting to get dinged on the naming! I enjoyed making the map but wasn't really keen on inventing a bunch of names. Initially I wasn't sure if this was a big deal but it's been pointed out a few times now so I'll consider a change. I agree with your thoughts on game-play speed so I'm also strongly considering lowering the bonuses.

Review by Christian 'Thor' Picard on 6/25/2013.
Nice map, with a lot of interesting gameplay, alone or in 2v2 team.
A bit unbalanced if you start in the South Kingdom, where you can't expand as fast as in the other areas (thus giving quickly an advantage to your ennemies), but it is not as bad as it may sounds.

Review by Angel Toret on 3/20/2020.
I must be a little silly. I continually read about great and fun maps. However, some maps like this seem impossible to me: on the third turn I find an enemy with 50 more armies than me per territory. Impossible to win. Is this fun or is it that my games are different from yours?

Review by Octo on 5/7/2020.
Another stupid and unfair single-player level, you start alone and with one army, while the enemies start in teams and with 15 armies. it's simply impossible to win, because once you conquer the fortress after 3-4 turns, you find 50+ armies that attacks you without any possibility to defeat them

Review by RobotNerd277 on 12/16/2018.
This map feels pretty imbalanced. It's easy for some players to get holed up in fortresses and rack up armies while others duke it out for scraps of land.

There are two kinds of maps: One which is tricky but doable,and there are those who are impossible...this one is a waste of time. Facing massive onslaughts just after a few rounds...sigh

I didn't think I would find this map so entertaining. It's really fun to fight in the cities. I spotted a missing connection between keenly and karma.

Review by Nephylump on 8/23/2014.
An excellent map in terms of gameplay and strategy. There are a huge number of armies on offer, which can result in large scale battles, although as soon as one player is dominating, it is difficult to come back. It is a good map for finding a secure corner and hunkering down; however, the boats and large number of territories mean that all players are likely to have some battle on their hands at some front, especially with a large number of players.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing on this map, and highly recommend it for others.

Review by TooManyPotatoes on 12/5/2014.
Very fun when played with 4 people, you can have each person start in their own corner of the map with the big circular fortress...city...things as their first territory. But be wary don't play this map with 3 people because whoever gets the southern city is bound to win (The territory size is what causes this). So if you do end up playing with 3 people then try and stop the southern player from getting all the territories because otherwise he will most likely become unstoppable.

Review by M. Poireau on 4/3/2015.
Wonderful map, and the territory names make for hilarious orders/history.

Only downsides are the numerous chokepoints and neutral connections: these are such a no-brainer for defense, blockades, and so on. For example, the entire Outskirts region can be defended with just two territories, both of which are not part of any bonus. That's not terribly strategically interesting!

The "round" territories are a fun twist, especially for multi-attack games and reconnaissance cards.

Review by Ysayell1 on 4/23/2015.
Fun map, particularly for FFA. the balancing is pretty fair, the choke points are plenty and it plays pretty fast. There are some slight balancing issues of city areas having an advantage vs the open bits, but those are mostly mitigated by the inherent chaos of FFA.

Review by jecowa on 3/29/2016.
It's a fun map, and all the connections of its territories make sense. The boats are a little confusing, though. It looks sort of like you might be able to jump from one boat to any of the other boats. Also, some of the regions are kind of hard to distinguish from each other around the south country and outskirts regions. I like the naming scheme of the territories with all the territories of a region starting with the same letter of the alphabet. I like the fortresses; I wish they had been given more creative names, though. Maybe something like Ft. Notterd, Ft. Sutton, and Fort Oria. Same with the island. Why not a "Croc Island" or something instead of just "Island"?

Review by captainlove on 9/16/2020.
One star at best. If I played multi player games maybe it would be rated higher, but since I only play the single player chain games this map is just a waste of my time. Only had to play it once to know I was going to just forfeit at the start every time and wait for the skip. No possible way to win this map in one player mode. Only problem is that I've surrendered 15 times now and still can't get a skip. Take these stupid ass maps off the chain!

Review by snowman on 2/23/2021.
Map is fine. Scenario sucks big time. Player too weak at start. Surrounded by stronger enemies who are surrounded by allies. Fuggedabotit! Start by scrapping allies and starting all sides equally. Start with 1 army versus 15 (or 6 vs. 20) clouds entire exercise.

The territory of Cable shares a border with the territory of Cabinet, but it is not possible to attack/transfer between these two territories.

I really enjoyed playing this map and this is definitely going on my favourites list. It is a fictional map that feels like a real world map, which highly contributes to the immersiveness of the map.
