Hi sluk,
Thanks for the positive review of my map, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I watched your video review on YouTube and noticed you seemed a little lost at first.
Was the intro text not clear enough or did you just skip reading it?

To clear things up:
All the neutral sheep appear as hostile, but you only have to fight player-controlled sheep.
You can locate them on the mini-map, and you'll see the player's name when you mouse-over their sheep.
You also see an exclamation mark above player's heads when they cast a spell.

I suggest you read the map info to learn about some of the more hidden features in the map, and enable the music when you play it again.
 
I only played this singleplayer I'm afraid, but it was defenitely playable from what I could see. The AI crushed me.
I will return to this someday and play it with a friend, but right now I can see that it is clearly a good map, and that it should be approved. And so it has.

Just a thought: You description is good enough, but I would suggest you add more screenshots since your terrain looks really good!
The single screenshot with painted words on it does not give your awesome terrain any justice. :)

Approved
