3 stars for now, but it could be a 5 with some work. This is a nice looking map and fairly fun to play. Unfortunately, it is so cluttered with detail that it's difficult to see the actual territories. Also, although the bonus system with the castles is explained well, it makes gameplay awkward and tedious. Games tend to be extremely long - and not just because the map is huge. Rather, the bonuses themselves are too small and the number of bonus territories is too large and the territories themselves are far too scattered to be able to collect effectively.
Making the territories graphically larger and easier to see and simplifying the bonus systems will greatly improve this map.

It's a monster, but very well done!

The unique structure of cities and the system of reinforcement bonuses per city makes for a really interesting game, and the sheer size, while dragging out a game, is still nice. And the rich layout creates somewhat of an atmosphere with the names and whatnot. However, having to control all connecting city gates to a particular city to receive the reinforcement bonus for a city is weird, but still fairly insignificant.

Neat Idea... too tedious to play on regularly.

Nice map, but the names on some territories are very bad, and taking each castle is fairly annoying due to the three territories per castle 'feature'.

The idea regarding the cities is nice, but as a whole, the map is too large in my eyes.

Great map, takes a while to end.
I just missed the road marking in "The Daedalus", but once you get your head around to how the Daedalus is structured it's okay.
And the bonus structure takes a bit to get used to to optimise starting strategics.

This is a very big map and it may take more time to conquer than other maps. It is a very elaborate map too.

i do not like this map because it is hard to read your amount of men on each island and it is confusing

I Love long games, but the whole gate for each city through me for a loop in this game, well laid out it just took getting used to.

Huge. Though I dislike territories that are dead-ends (making movement of forces prolonged) it is an interesting game. The low scoring makes for a very long early-game phase and taking of full castles in the mid-end game challenging as well. A worthy play if you have the time.
