I think anyone loading up a game called "City of Rage" is going to expect a real hotbed of military activity.  This is not the case in SAm's Lindum.  Although the map offers some interesting city-building problems, by and large this is a haphazardly constructed scenario.  A glance at the win conditions, for example, tells you that the only possible problem is getting a 90 Favor rating from Caesar.  Hmmm... with only four requests and no distant battles over 210 years, how exactly are we supposed to do that?  The first request gives you "0" years to respond. (Since the computer interprets this as "no" years to respond, you effectively have 210 years to complete the first request.)  The few attacks which do occur don't even begin for 40 years...

I'm afraid that the only rage I experienced in this Lindum was at the designer's lack of thoughtful effort.
