Wow - this map is excellent! Although it takes a minute or two for your eyes to adjust to see what is water and what is not, it does not become an issue. Maps where single territories carry significant bonuses frequently demand a deeper strategy, and New Realm is no exception.
One of the nicer surprises is that the AI is halfway decent on this map. Generally, the AIs only do well on linear, single-pathway maps, but for some reason I am too shallow to fathom, there are a select few where they can put up something of a challenge.
Congratulations to unicorn7 on a quality addition to Warlight!

This map has a lot going on. Rather than focusing on getting the larger bonuses, the player must obtain all the cities and ports to control the board. The ocean tiles add a nice touch, though I do have a slight problem with them. They're difficult to understand which ones they connect to. Personally, I'd prefer smaller ocean tiles with spaces in between, so then you could add little docks and things like that. The background art is nicely done.
It could use a little touching up, but all in all, it's a pretty good map. Escpecially for being a first map. One thing to add is that I love your fantasy style and I really hope you continue on that path. You could make a really great map someday and I look forward to seeing more of you!

Great map. There are some dead ends where armies get trapped and this helps make the game tedious at the end.

I played this map on a game set up by the creator of this map him/herself, the map is very well constructed with an extensive amount of chokepoints and unique locations and connections that allows fun gameplay that I never got tired of playing through, great job Unicorn7

Good solid map. Big enough for a longer game, and no real issues with connections, and the names are interesting, I would challenge you to find a different way to represent the water pieces, because I don't think of circles when I think of water, the only circles I think of with water are air bubbles.

Zero stars. Very dumb map. You stay stuck where you begin for the most part and lose in like 5 turns. Stupid to start in a one-way corridor with an AI coming right at you. Don't waste your time on this one for the chain, just skip it.

The bonuses could be a little more clear (wider colored lines).
It takes a little too long to get around, in my opinion, but that is a matter of personal preference.
Sometimes it looks like things might be connected, but they aren't. As far as I know, there aren't any errors, but the design style is being pushed to it's limit which causes occasional confusion.

Map looks great and interesting to play but 95% is pointless. Having all teams start in same corner just means you battle it out in one corner

A good idea executed poorly because there is virtually no intuitive way to figure out which lag or ally strategy to use before becoming too frustrated to keep trying. The size of the map is a complete red herring because you'll never use more than a quarter to a third of it if you discover that the main strategy is to cede territory to your ally and to Red before you'll be able to successfully advance.

Another map with a cheating AI and pure luck required to win. This one makes about 6 or 7 so far I ran into. The AI will not attack the Psion but instead pursue you completely if you get close to a star. There are certain key territories you must take by certain turns and you cant miss one or you wont star. Those key territories will not be defended if you cannot star. Were talking the enemy AI diverting every new army to block you and not fight the Psion. Sends stacks of 20+ against you when it could easily take Psion territories instead. I really despise these kind of maps and using cheating AI. This leads to 30 to 50 replays within a very short period of time, i.e a grind. A low eyebrow, intellectually challenged person came up with these settings to try and make a worthless map challenging.

Very poorly thought out. Placement of ally is a major disadvantage. Unless the ally is extremely supportive, one has no chance of winning.

So the only way to win is to hide within your teammate's territory? Boring.

Very bad!! Visually it looks horrible! The bonuses are bad, they are barely visible and unbalanced. And the 100 bonus makes no sense.

The map itself is challenging, which makes for a fun experience. If you are in it for the long game win, there's enough strategy to employ to eventually win it. I will go on to say that the level is too challenging when trying to go for a Gold Star. The odds of defeating the enemy in time are slim to none when you are faced with hoping your AI team mate will make good decisions and you are statistically set at a disadvantage from the beginning to take it in 17 turns.
