-Humans should all be dropped from 3 to 2
-Natural enemies of settlements should be easier to get : Tower of Control from 3 to 2, Raiders' Haven from 4 to 3
-Orks all levelled to 2 as well
-Elvish towns Egil-Oroth from 4 to 3 and Aesir-Vanir from 4 to 2
-Raiders' Shadowlands from 3 to 2
-Dwarves Strongholds should all drop 1troop to their actual count (Damkianna Stronghold - 2; Anshar Stroghold - 2; Ralaq-Marsan Gateway 3)
-North Logoth should drop from 4 to 3

-Also recommend raising Kaball's border, disabling South Logoth from having a second line of defence in Ralaq Marsan.
-North Logoth's one-way assault feature should be downgraded to a bombard feature
-1 Receptacle added to The Hillmen

Note: map legend needs updating to reflect the bombardments off North Logoff.

It's natural to think that the pairs work like they do in Age of Realms and Treasures of Galapagos, but they don't; only distinct pairs count. I like it better this way, but since many people are used to the Age of Realms way (and the map is even called "Dawn of Ages") it would be good to explain this more explicitly.

Similarly for the dwarven bonuses: it's not entirely clear from the legend whether it helps to have both gateways (it doesn't).

You are the first one raising that doubt.... Well, I honestly think its pretty self-explanatory. But anyone having that doubt will surely be correct in the second game he/she plays

The attack options of the dwarven gateways and strongholds are also not clear: in the legend it looks like all gateways can attack all strongholds and vice versa and the strongholds can't attack each other, whereas in fact which gateways and strongholds can attack each other is determined by the underground passage. Also, although one can guess from the double arrow and the name "gateway" that the gateways have two-way attacks with the surrounding region, this should be indicated in the legend -- the fact that the strongholds' one-way attack is shown in the legend and the gateways' two-way attack isn't makes it seem as if the legend implies that the gateways aren't connected to anything other than the strongholds.

There's not so much we can explain in such a reduced space - this aspect of this game was widely and strongly discussed in the process of making this map. And it was intended to be the best way to explain their mechanics.

Another slightly confusing aspect is that parts of the (very helpful) assault/bombardment diagram in the legend are explained in text in the map and others aren't -- after reading all the text I thought I knew the assault/bombardment options and was then surprised to find that there are others that are mentioned only in the diagram (e.g. Raiders' Haven can attack ports).

It's showing in the diagram - Raiders' Haven can assault Ports

Thanks for a great new map!!

My guess is Raider's Haven. It's on the other side of the map and it one-way attacks Aesir Vanir.
