I like this sort of map; maps that start you with low level troops and a castle are a rare treasure. Visually the map is nice.

I would like to make some points, though:

I played a bit as Tan, Rampart.

* Resources are plenty, even on 200% you can quickly build up your castle. To have to struggle a bit for them would have been okay for me on a high difficulty.

* 10 recruitment sites on Tan's starting island; rather much! Lots of running around if you want those recruits every week, while the reward is an eclectic mix of mostly low level units that won't help your game much.

* Water routes are important on this map. Those routes, or the shipyards, are guarded with heavy stacks of independants. But, inconsistantly, 'summon boat' may appear in the guilds, and if that happens you can in several occasions just work around the stacks by calling for a boat - plenty boats around on this map. I think the mapmaker overlooked that. My personal preference would not be to remove the spell from the guilds, but to diminish the stacks and open up the map more.

I like this map, but I think with some surgery it can become even better.
