Attacks will be difficult and the large gold mines will insure a long battle. Some hints about this map ... o Take advantage of the rock formations when defending the land bridge. Position your men so that only one attacker can get through while you use two or three defenders (see diagram). aaaaaaa fffffff KEY: X rock XXeXeXeXX f (your) footmen XeXeXeX a (your) archers X X X X e enemy As the attacker comes through the single file path in the rock, three defenders gang up on him. Make sure you tell the defenders to stand ground. Put archers (or a catapult!) behind your defenders for added protection. A similar approach can be used at the center cross road. o The only open area for a sea attack is the back of the island. You can place three ships across the sea lane in the back to cut off access to the back of your island. If you don't want to bother with ships, four strategically placed farms will wall off the back of the island (that is, until you chop throught the trees). o The rocky shores have shelves where a transport could land a sapper or two. Be prepared for it. Have at it! -- Ohwrd (Jim Weirich)
