Two problems with it; firstly the inclusion of the Norðmenn instead of Goidl caused confusion & a lot of people leapt at the chance to play as them (60+ vs 40+ & no effort to balance it out as there had been on the previous maps). Secondly, limited lives for attackers on a meat-grinder single-entrance map is not a good idea in my eyes. On that map in particular there is a single entrance which the defenders can block off whilst others with throwing weapons & ranged weapons rain down a fusilade on any attacker foolish enough to go in - a rather galling part of that map were the low parts of the walls you could easily jump over in places (RL I could clamber over them at that height without using my hands) but invisible walls prevented this.
But this is all by-the-by as the battles of the event were great
I had asked if we could use the Norse for the siege, since the lack of Archers.
Also, I think the Siege was bonus thing, or like a fun round.
Anyway, I had fun, even though my flank got annihilated each time. Haha.
