Pnut's personal Challenge level: 3.0
Special notes: Tips are included in the zip.
General overview:
Very large trading city in the central provinces. City is besieged; easy to average battles.
You will take full advantage of trading, no limits to housing size. No natives. Enjoyable play, not long and drawn out. I didn't ever find myself just letting the program play for me. I was able to plan without frenzied play.
Required by Caesar:
Culture -------- 50
Prosperity ----- 50
Peace ----------- 50
Favor ---------- 50
Population ---- 4000
What made it fun:
The "feel" of the map was quite enjoyable. Very aesthetic! A variety of "starting" points. You'll want to play this again!
What detracted from the fun:
Somewhat easy for the seasoned builder.
What makes it unique:
Beautiful layout, calm feeling you get while playing!
My personal wishes:
Make some of the requests from Caesar more challenging, and/or militarily more challenging.
