Finished! :-)

Hmm, I think I finished glest - after a long and bloody battle, I won the "Mountains" map (my favourite one, followed by Ruins), against 3 Ultras (all 4 parties Magic, the 3 enemies in one team)!

Several maps leave no chance against a single Ultra I think (center punch beeing an obvious example, but also Island Siege 1 and 2).  The default starting point in the Mountains map has the advantage that it can be reasonable well defended with Trolls (you need about 5 though) and Battle Mages.

Is there any challange left I could face?  Otherwise I just have to wait for the next release/update

Kudos to the Glest developers, and to the Map creators!!  I played the game daily for about two weeks, and enjoyed it immensily.  Also, I played it on Linux Laptop (with a Mobile FireGL-2), and it worked flawlessly (well, 3 Ultras  slowed it down from time to time...).

Cheers, Andre.

I'm the creator of this map, I'm glad you like it

I'm the creator of this map, I'm glad you like it  :-D  Was it intentional that the (default) human position is different from the others (better defensible)?

Cheers, Andre.

yes, the map is desingned for play against several factions in one team, but you can start the game in any of the others positions too.

Right, thats possible - I tried that and lost immediately - impossible to defence agains Ultra...
Well, at least for me...

Once you get a certain amount of Units you can survive the continous attacks in any place - but in the beginning its tough...
