As you can imagine this map is a map of our world. The playable races are: Orcs, Goblins, Humans, Elves, Dark Elves, Archons, Undead and Frostlings (8 Players). Some races seem to have a better position than other ones. For example, the Frostlings - they don't have that many cities and mines, but it is difficult to attack them at first as they live at the South Pole. So I think every race has almost equal chances. Try to find the 4 most powerful items in the world and discover some other secret places. There are no special quests. Lots of extremely powerful independents in the caverns!
It took me some days to create this map and I used the atlas all the time, but I think that every strategy-game, like "Age of Wonders 2", should have at least one map of the real world as it's fun to conquer it! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do, even if there are no special quests or other scripts.
