Medieval Battle 1401AD

EDIT: Moved here because I lost all the ongoing multiplayer games right as they started with the release of the full Storm of Arrows. :S
This is a battle between ancient Thracians, led by Alkibiades, against various medieval units that are guarding some royal children. Here is the short, in-game description:
"While history suggests that Alkibiades was assassinated in Phrygia after the end of the Peloponnesian War, the truth is far more sinister. Unsatisfied with merely living in the 5th and 4th centuries, Alkibiades left Thrace on a trip to Phrygia with the intent of breaking the laws of physics! For shame! Although sources are scanty, the historical record suggests that he succeeded, and teleported into the 15th century. Not happy with mere chronological indecency, Alkibiades and his men then ambushed the unsuspecting Sir Lollerpants, who was escorting the King's Children! Oh no!"
Here is a link to the scenario; I tried balancing it against the AI but you can never really know until you face a human. I hope some people will accept my challenge on the multiplayer server!

I had a few people playing with me, but unfortunately our ongoing games were wiped out. I still haven't managed to test this all the way through with a human opponent; the goal is to have a map wherein one side has to force their way through the second side, which is holding a nice position with weaker forces. Also, the map goes Horizontally, which makes the whole re-facing that the game does annoying; just press R to make the map face the way it ought to (the Thracian perspective).
