In A Big Country - Mission 1: Out of the Mists

Description
Title: In A Big Country - Mission 1: Out of the Mists
Map Type: War Scenario
Author: pad11
Created: May 03, 2005

Mission Briefing: https://pastebin.com/9yHuKnMs

You were only a child of the Court when the young Kings uncle, Barclay, stunned the Realm and besmirched your family name by stealing away in the middle of the night with most of the Kingdoms treasury, the Hand of St. Sebastian an ancient and holy Relic, and, most horribly, Ariana, the baby sister of the King himself.

For years, the King has searched for the villain to no avail. Now news has come that Barclay has been located, and as good as that news is, it is of no solace to your land. Barclay has used the immense wealth that he stole to set himself up as Lord of the Reaches, a far away and violent land on the shores of the Great Sea, just East of the land of the Norge and the terror that is Olaf. He uses the Hand to rally the peasantry and clergy to his selfish cause and holds the Kings sister, now of marrying age, as prisoner in his Keep with plans of making her Queen.

While the King would send every man, solder and priest in his Realm to rescue his sister and forever dispatch Barclay to Hades, the reality of looming war from the West keeps his troops at home, guarding the Realm and keeping the piece in an ever-growing homeland.

Now he turns to you, an unlikely choice no doubt, to bring Ariana and the head of Barclay on a platter -- back.

I suppose playing too long 'breaks' the scenario. Or perhaps playing twice is what did it. Maybe I had too many archers or to much money.Or maybe there is a hidden time limit you didn't tell us about.Beating it the first time was kind of fun. But playing it again 'broke' all the fighters when I went to the second part.The archers just started shooting continuously and hit nothing and no one would fight with them.This happened twice.Too bad, beautiful map and I would have liked to play it with an eye to building all the different holdings to perfection. Didn't like how it told me to kill Edwin in the second act before it was possible. Couldn't be done until the the third act when we get the war camp and knights. Game play wasn't consistent with the play of the original game. Sometimes my fighters didn't react as they do in original. Also, sometimes my 'Lord' just slid around when I told him to fight. But perhaps some gamers like those kind of head games and tricks:steamsad:.

This was a fun map to play.

To start with, you made the story pretty interesting. That's more than most maps offer, and I appreciate that.

Next, you made a very beautiful environment with your map. Everything from the rivers to the forests to the bright patches of grass really made me feel like I was in an idyallic countryside.

Finally, you managed to create some interesting gameplay. I really had to work towards clearing out the bandit camps, and the gates at the end were really trying. I look forward to part two.
