Yonder EYECANDY: The level doesn’t look bad. It’s not terribly detailed, but it generally looks good. Both castles, the ground and the shark pit all look good, the knight castle especially. The animations look all smooth and good. The layer 5 in the caves looks very MS Paint-ish, though.
Yonder EYECANDY score: 7.0
Ye Olde WEAPONS PLACEMENT: Weapons are rather scarce. There are only a few weapons in the caves, one powerup per side (Toaster for the peasants and Bouncy for the knights) and a Pepper Spray PU in the middle. The weapons placement isn’t BAD, but there could have been more. Also, there are too many carrots for a level this size.
Ye olde WEAPONS PLACEMENT score: 6.5
Thou GAMEPLAY: Small and frantic. The level isn’t large, but there’s plenty of vertical space. The powerups have uses here, (except Pepper) and you probably won’t be wishing for a seeker powerup. I’ve played this level extensively online, and it’s quite fun.
The shark pit is kind of useless, but an interesting addition. Maybe too many carrots, but pretty good.
Thou GAMEPLAY score: 7.5
Now, thy OVERALL score: 7.0[This review has been edited by Iam Canadian]

I was actually expecting good music to go with a title like that.
GAMEPLAY:
The level looks typical at first glance. There are two forts that face each other, each containing a base—a cliche but a classic. The layout isn’t too unbalanced, although the peasant fort on the right is a lot smaller than the knight fort on the left. Yes, I realized it’s for the theme, but balance would be more important. The level is a little wide, but has little playing space; it’s mostly just huge open areas at the top with a few misshaped platforms here and there. As for flow, it’s not too easy to get around the level, especially since there are no slopes. I know I would never make a CTF level with a tileset that has no slopes, but that’s just my (along with many others) preference. The shark pit obstacle is pretty pointless since it’s not that easy to fall into the water. Five coins can save me the trouble of waiting in case I actually do fall in the pit, but those coins are better spent on getting one of the carrots in the coin warps. A lot of the events should generate slower, and the top of the level could use a border.
EYE CANDY:
The eye candy is decent, although with some extra effort, it could be a little better. But I can’t say for sure, because this tileset has almost nothing to offer. At least tilesets like Medivo and Castle have slopes.
CARROT AND AMMO PLACEMENT:
There is the +1 carrot at the top, which is a bit closer to blue base and can be shot down into the shark pit. It is only a +1 carrot so it wouldn’t be worth getting if it fell into the pit. The full energy carrots, on the other hand, are worth getting assuming you can find the warps. Powerup placement is alright, but there isn’t enough ammo in places, and its placement seems sporadic. Also, the ice and the tnt don’t seem too useful.
HOST THIS OFTEN?
Nope, especially if you don’t want people trying to speak in Old English in your server. I decided 6.5 will be my rating.
The Edit: I’m not going to bother changing the rating since every edit wasn’t a major change in gameplay.[This review has been edited by BlurredD]

Sorry
[EDIT]: Could be that this error exists because your username has things like ‘ and something like that in it. But I’m not sure[This review has been edited by PHT]
As for the peasants’ fortress being smaller, it could be made taller without loosing the theme by being put on a small hill with caves in it.
i give it a 5.5
