| 4 | | * 15 minutes until the first wave is too much imho. I mean depending on how many of the treasures you manage to get you might be able to get to phase 2 and start building and gathering etc in the middle. But most of those first fifteen minutes are still just waiting, so it might be more interesting with a tiny wave sooner. |
| 5 | | * I would prefer more varied waves. As it is now it's just the same kind of units, which can get a bit boring. |
| 6 | | * What definitely should exist is some kind of progression of difficulty. As it is now you can have a very easy time -- until the elephants come. Just garrison your units in the civic center or any towers you have built and the wave is survived easily. Then all of a sudden 10 or so elephants arrive and you're doomed =) The second time I played I at least was aware that they might come at some point, but it felt as if they came ten minutes earlier that time, so I still wasn't prepared. That's tied together with the previous point to some extent -- if the groups are more varied you'll have to vary your strategy earlier + you'll be aware that there will be elephants (and possibly siege weapons as well, but again, have only played the map properly two times and the elephants got me both times so I haven't been able to survive long enough to be able to tell). |
