Results
============================================================
1st Place: Defend the Island 4 by Lord Basse- 120 pts
Defend the Island 4 – the Invasion of Duang-Zhe is the fourth scenario in the DTI series. Described a ‘quantum leap’ from its predecessors, this scenario will bring you to a crescent shaped island full of beautiful forests, cliffs, beaches and fortresses in the midst of an all out war. Featuring good theme music ( mixture of Japanese style and Pirates of the carribean ) and all-round waves of attacks, this will keep you on the edge all throughout. A good background and setting adds to the game. A clear winner.
============================================================
2nd Place: The Outer Rim by Dantares IV – 107 pts
The Outer Rim, a strategic cliffed fortress in a desert is under attack by an immense invasion force. You are greatly outnumbered, but can use your strategic location to inflict great losses on the enemy. Featuring the best archer tactics , cutscenes and fitting theme music, this one is sure to be a challenge. Undoubtedly one of the best works by the author.
============================================================
3rd Place: Adventure Series VIII The Horde by Jas the Mace1 – 105 pts
The Horde of Genghis Khan approaches! Rather than trying to defeat him outright, you just have to delay his approach into the city. One of the first of it’s kind, the scenario allows you to ‘compete with yourself’, the goal being to accumulate as many kills as possible. This scenario comes in a close 3rd.
============================================================
4th Place: Archerama by Ringer – 96 pts
Defending a tower, doesn’t seem very interesting does it? No! This scenario gives you many options to choose your troops, and sends a variety of enemies at you. Featuring a small cutscene and a sort of voice acting, this scenario is ranked 4th, winning high points from Julius999.
============================================================
5th Place: The Defence of Pavia by VisorSlash – 71 pts
A historical scenario with a large number of enemies. The AI problem in this scenario can be corrected by downloading Gothmog AI and putting all it’s files in the AI folder. A spirited first attempt, and the game is challenging.
============================================================
6th Place: Barbarians at the Gate by Madhu – 64 pts
Somewhat close to a random map, but still an interesting and challenging game. A good first attempt and gets high marks from matty12345
