GENERAL: This scenario is very fun to play. It is certainly
difficult as well. Warfare in this scenario is very complicated
and heavily strategic, the way it should be!
MAP: I think that the map
covers too much of the rest of Eastern Europe, and should concentrate
more on Hungary and European Turkey. I saw little to no reason
to include the Italians and Poles other than as trading partners.
One minor thing is that at the beginning of the game, some of
the Magyar cities are building Harquebuisers, but if you go to
the "change" menu they are not accessable. Just that
minor detail was missed, but that profoundly impacted my game
because I exploited it.
ATMOSPHERE:
There were
no atmosphere problems.
BALANCE:
Yes, the
balance is great. I really think that this is the shining aspect
of the design. This scenario had enough units to make warfare
big and bloody, but didn't have too many that it made warfare
overwhelming. Also, the unit powers are well balanced as well,
making strategy the key to winning, not just brute force.
CONCLUDING
COMMENTS: I
really enjoyed this scenario, and there were a few reasons that
I especially enjoyed this. First, it was on a subject I knew
nothing about, so I learned something new. Second, there was
a real and definite sense of mission in this scenario, one of
the most important aspects of a scenario. I also really like
it when scenarios give a wide option of units to build, which
this did. |
