This is an unfortunate case of map making at its very basic. There are minimal events (two, one wolf attack and one bandit attack) with win criteria that is all too easily reached. This is a shame, because it wouldn't take too much for this to be a perfectly acceptable little scenario. The scenario is over with after four years, which isn't long enough to really get into the game, given the modest win criteria needed. A shorter scenario is fine, but would need some pretty tricky conditions to be met. As it is, I can't score this any higher than 2/5.
Balance: 1
As much as it pains me to say so, there is nothing particularly difficult about this scenario at any difficulty level. More events are needed, multiple win criteria to engage the player, or an alternative approach with a longer game life and more structure. I won on normal difficulty level after only two years, less than three on hard setting. Practice is needed in map making, and i'd recommend the author takes much more time and care in any future submissions.
Creativity: 1
As above, there isn't anything here that could be considered as creative, nothing that I could comment on and therefore use to increase the score. See comments re playability: multiple events, numerous win criteria and a scenario that really involves you in some way is a good start.
Map Design: 2
A small map with a little terrain modelling. The waterfall to the top of the map looks okay and the whole concept of a small castle within a gorge is good. Given the level of map design currently produced at the time of this review, I can't justify a higher score than this.
Story/Instructions: 2
The story is brief but explains the idea of the scenario effectively. No instructions as such, no other comments by the author. 2/5 given for content and for submitting something for the player to read. File contains a minimap.
Additional Comments:
The Gorge could be a great little map with a bit more attention and thought. It plays well enough, but there is nothing here that grabs you and makes you want to play it again. My apologies to the author, but this has been reviewed in line with current guidelines. I'd recommend practice first, plenty of playtesting and time spent understanding the very basics of map design from the many scenarios available for download from the site.[Edited on 12/08/06 @ 03:15 AM]
