Description I decided to start another series called 'greek mythology'
should work this way: I give you some maps to be played one after another, a short story about each and YOU rate, comment AND enjoy, everything clear?
have fun with this one:
"...if Heracles slew the Nemean lion (who lived in a cave) and returned alive within 30 days, they would sacrifice a lion to Zeus. If he did not return within 30 days or he died, however, a poor farm boy would sacrifice himself to Zeus.While he was looking for the lion, he made arrows to use against it, not knowing that it was impervious. When he found the lion, he started throwing arrows at the lion, but the lion wouldn't die. After some time Heracles made the lion return to his cave. The cave had two entrances, one of which Heracles blocked; he then entered the other. Because of the fact that the lion's skin was impenetrable, Heracles was forced to stun the beast with his club, before proceeding to strangle it..."

and the tiles give off a really Greek feel. However, the gameplay is the most forced I have EVER played. And I mean ever. Since I consider this purely N-art I will rate it as such and exclude the gameplay in my rating. 4.5

Hmm...

I think the main problem with your version here [nmaps.net] is that trying to get through the branches isn't really that fun, it just makes it overlong and rather boring. However I do love your gold placement.
I'll work some more on it, see if I can make the best of both worlds.
I think this demo sums up why I don't think the branches are a good idea.

Ok

I've done it now =]
This is the most attractive on of the series, imo, but again the gameplay isn't great. Still, impressive.
4.5/5 rounded up
