I remember when I first made my way between the vast and conquering peaks of ice-cruel, unyielding. I was young then, innocent. But innocence never lasts, not in this cruel world. I knew not of sorrow, nor pain but that of grazed knees or scraped elbows. Nestled amongst the hay bundles and pelts that crowded my fathers old cart-rickety, aged. Too young was I to remember as the life slipped away from my mother’s warm face, like the sun melting behind the hills into shadows-unheard, unseen.
War’s bitter tears of hardy salt had not parched my mouth. I knew not of it but that it had driven us from our home, like starved wolves stalking a flock-relentless in its resolve…
It was on a bitter winter’s morn that we left behind our thatched roofed home in which we had sheltered, the sun still cowering in the shadows. The frost clung to the ground like a newborn to its mother’s breast, and the air struck at you like a cold dagger in ones soul. Not a whisper was heard as we made our way down through a craggy ravine, earth spilling under the weight of the loathsome cart-aged stones echoing down into the abyss. Nestled amongst the pelts and straw I felt myself drift away…
I awoke to the sound of ravenous birds overhead. Others perched themselves amongst bent tree limbs-their eyes a piercing green. But soon their deathly calls became less common until only the occasional cry could be heard. As we made our way down a slight gully, we turned to follow a stream-frozen underfoot. Descending like water over cliff, we made our way down though a narrow in the mount-it was then for the first time that the great valley was upon me…
See Zipfile for the rest of the story.

Quite a while between releases.
To create invisible sign posts you simply use the magic eraser.

You have perfect resources and the landscape is truly stunning!
I built a massive stronghold and then sieged it to death (as I always do on freebuild maps). The AI were pretty good, but they neglected building siege weapons on most of their attacks. |

Everything about this map is perfect, I spend 10-20 minutes just exploring every nook, cranny, gorge and mountian on this map. I can't wait to build a huge castle and settlement. |

Glad you all like it. We also just realised we forgot to change the troop restrictions, feel free to alter this if you wish.

I think the playability and balance categories on freebuilds should be removed lol... ridiculous. Though, it was kinda fun with the soldiers around the campfire.
Balance: 5
What to say...
Creativity: 5
Alot of creativity is seen in the map design, and terraining! Need I say more?
Map Design: 5
Stunning as usual. In fact, this might be your best terrained map yet. The snow, and the mountains gives such a powerful feeling. It looks incredibly realistic.
Story/Instructions: 5
Unlike most freebuilds, this is one accompanied by a story at the level of those that comes with most invasion maps, and really good one too!
Probably a wierd comparison lol, but it's a really good story as usual. Exactly what you expect from the WD team!
Additional Comments:
I hope you two don't mind such a short review, but I never review freebuild maps with such long ones. Actually... I don't remember ever reviewing a freebuild map. =o
I gave a straight 5, because freebuild maps are all about terraining and such, and this map has too be the best one in SH when it comes to that. Honestly.[Edited on 06/27/07 @ 07:16 PM]
