This is a very specific setup I like to do on this map, which is normally designed for 7 players, with 3 starting positions at the top and 4 at the bottom. The only way to get to the other river bank is through a narrow patch of shallow water in the middle. This makes it an excellent defense point as long as there are no enemy players on your side of the river.

There are two main challenges in this scenario:
1) securing the chokepoint in early game so that no enemies are able to get across and attack your base anywhere else;
2) choosing the right time to venture out and take out the enemy players while not compromising the river pass. I made it a bit easier for myself by selecting "Kill the Keep" mode instead of "Survival". This also makes the duration of the match shorter.

Previously uploaded this challenge for the Dragon clan:    • Battle Realms WotW: Skirmish - Dragon vs 4...  

Early game is more difficult than Dragon, but once you have four towers and a group of musketeers with sniper scopes it becomes pretty easy to hold the river passage. Luckily basic swordsmen are exceptionally good units.

No Necro dupe glitch. It was under consideration for a moment though.
