Wow, quite a nice little campaign. Bordering on a 4, this is a great achievement, especially when I just love giving a 1 for a lousy campaign.
Only one scenario but definitely worth downloading, as you can see it impresses in all areas.

Playability: Map design does not hinder playability as it so often does. Quite a few different approaches to winning are possible due to the nature of the map. Using your few ships and men together are the only way to win.

Creativity: Nice map, good original storyline, various win conditions

Balance: Won't take you hours but you must get it right. If you take the right approach winning is still challenging, and if you mess up you will have to restart. Close to a five star.

Map Design: An Amazon map, and well done. Beautiful winding rivers and swamp enclosed palm forests, nice use of the thick trunked palm. A very good map which enhances playabilty.

Story/Instruction: Story was good, not epic but solid, but the bitmap was a little messed up, I think the author tried to paste a whole screenshot in or something and the colors are inverted. Good campaign though, very good indeed.

Nice little campaign. You start with some troops, a few ships and two villagers and have to seek a new home. I used my war galleys to scout and kill a few triremes, then found the yellow camp and crushed it to pieces. After that I built my own inside. I like the concept, as I also had the opportunity to build somewhere else. The objectives are good, but could've been better.

Balance: 4

The campaign was well balanced, not too hard but not too easy either. You need a good troop management, because you can't produce any more. I liked it.

Creativity: 4

The campaign was not uber-creative, but it was not dull either. The concept was good, and the map looked great. Story could've been better though.

Map Design: 4

Map Design was good, it looked pretty well. I liked the tree combinations and the use of desert patches. Some shallows looked a bit wrong though, and the waterfalls weren't stunning either.

Story/Instructions: 3.5

Story was not bad, but it could've been better. The objectives are clear and the hints are good, the bitmap is messed up. I found no spelling mistakes.

Additional Comments:

A nice little campaign, not a masterpiece, but worth downloading.
