Playability: 5
You can play this in so many different modes and types and I'm still not sick of it after about 5 goes and it still seems fun, im still gettina roudn to settling grenland before others.
Balance: 4
Normal empires balance nothing really new or ectra added but still pretty fair despite my friend complaining that russian halftracks always get owned by KTT's.
Creativity: 5
Has been done before but the fact that nomad, boat landing and random starting places with the option of chests, regenerating resources and more it is a lot more original than it seemed.
Map Design: 5
The map is good and does really portray what europe is like, eye candy is pleasing and evident and the fact that the map is so realistic is the essence of this 5, by the way if i didn't noitice a mistake it doesn't matter because i like this map above all other ones i have seen, ok the europe map is also just as good.
Story/Instructions: 3
No real story other than europe being its setting but many MP scenarios don't have one and in fact yu can make your own story, no real instructions as only nomad and kidnapping modes need explaining. Taken into consideration intrepid seem im confusing SP with MP.
Additional Comments:
Very nice work intrepid and anyone else associate, awesome map and fun styles of play, lucky number 6 for me and counting when i next play it, can't wait for the advanced version ;)

Thanks for the review. One note though, it normally isn't considered good reviewing etiquette to lower the score of multiplayer scenarios on the account that they fail to provide a story. If I were to give this map a story it would be fairly lame and would only serve as a hassle to players.
