Playability: 5
This is a novel style of playing--limited collection of resources and unit training but sustained waves of attack forces and requires some thinking to bypass the usual style of playing (i.e. build and destroy or hero kills all)
Balance: 3
If I didn't figure out the cheats (as documented in additional comments) this would be unbeatable. Fortunately there are ways around the ingenuity of the map maker...
Creativity: 5
Again, not just your usual build and destroy. Very ingenious use of key elements of defensive play (towers, appropriate luring of stupid titans to somewhere else on the map)
Map Design: 4
Too much wasted space and maybe a little bit more gold and trees would make it easier to beat (I ran out of the gold and wood about midway). Again, the cheat about destroying their trojan gate and building your own will make the enemy stay put in their tracks because they won't attack your walls (maybe an additional waypoint at the gate would do it).
Story/Instructions: 2
Unfortunately there is no story associated with it, but the genre isn't really story-oriented and doesn't detract from its playability.
Additional Comments:
I usually delete scenarios after I complete them. This one is a keeper.
Cheats:
1. Luring the siege weapons in wave 9 (?) away from your wonder (will give you enough time to build your resources)
2. then collect all your resources, research your upgrades, and get lots of free arcus heroes (as most of the attack waves consist of myth units)
3. train enough hersirs to collect favor
4. get bolts from time to time to kill the titan (from the favor collected by your hersirs)
5. go destroy the trojan gate and build your own wall and towers so that enemy units get chased away by tower fire.
6. when you have enough manpower go lure the units out several at a time and destroy them

well, u arent supposed to lure, but defend.....How many tries did it take??
Another "cheat": create a dryad and break down some walls (owned by mother nature) and send your "hero" old man to work in the unit creation place (i.e. get both toxotes and arcuses churning). Just be cafeful your Dryad doesn't get seen by the mother nature units.

1 try (but it took me 3 hours)
Those 5's should probably be deleted...
