Very difficult but can be won :-)

Hi Ramirez,

thank you for the map, as always very beautiful and diversified geography

Its one of the most difficult maps i have ever played. I won on the second try. With the different islands its a real challenge to manage logistics.

Strategy guide for new players (Spoilers):
build one of every building around your HQ (Smithy, Brewery, Mint etc.) and a lot of forester huts/woodcutters. A path will open up to the west later.
To the east are a lot of islands, don't build up every harbor there, some places will be overrun. Focus on the 3-4 islands with resources.
At the same time go south from HQ, get rid of stones to find a second spot for a harbor, from there travel to south west island.
On south west island, build westernmost harbor and go north, connect land bridge to HQ and start fighting

Hi!

It is a wonderful map. I did it on my first try, but I had to use everything what I learned about the game to do it.
Somehow I missed the southern harbor, so I run out of gold and coal. But I had a lot of stones, and I bombed the hell out of the yellow and a green enemy. The borders was calm, and after I went to south, it was a piece of cake. At this point the ships didn't carry my craftmen (miner, smelter, blacksmith), maybe it is some kind of bug. I almost restarted the map here. But I found some iron bar, and I crafted some new tool on the southern island.
The red was the last one, but it was no match for my army
Very, very, very good map! Congrats to it, and thank you for the game!

re. Zoller

compadre,

gracias.. for the/your feedback
always nice to hear from resolute S2/players (!)


sorry to hear about that (navigating) bug
I have/had some experience from that kind of irregular item, but only with soldiers not moving out !!!

re Zoller

@Ramirez
A very nice map, not too difficult but long fun to play.

@Zoller
If you have several ports then only the port that is closest gets workers.
Simply build the required buildings at this port, then destroy them and send the workers to the desired port.
