My old map repurposed for 1.5 unofficial patch.
Many independent monsters spawn during play. Sides are unbalanced. Mab has plenty of tunnels which AI wont use for full potential. Lots to discover. Be aware of your surroundings.
nice to find a new map after all. I will try it now as a Draconian.
What is the most difficult race to play?
Best regards

Hello.
Map is somewhat unbalanced... Hardest for AI to play are Mab(Goblins) and Felad(Draconians). For humans im afraid i dont know =) Maybe Julia and Felad. Draconians(Felad) dont have that much resources around except for potential power nodes. But they are safer from teleport invasions.

Hi Lone,
last night I played 35 rounds as a Draconian. It was quite difficult and it is going to be an unconventional game due to the absence of cities (only small cities and villages).
I enjoyed it very much and dare say as early as now: A very good map!
Best regards from Munich

Hi Lone,
I switched over to Mab since you said she has the hardest stand. Unfortunately, the Elven princess Julia always seems to get killed in round 7. I have tried this for three times, always starting at round 1.
Is there a bug?
Best regards

What the f... Ive tested map multiple times recently and no mage died so quickly and I have even lowered the strenght of wandering monsters after that. I think its very rare case and AoW2 random number generator keeps making the same thing or at least one important battle for Julia ends very bad. Maybe playing other map for few turns then trying again should fix it. Sorry but somehow youve been very unlucky.

Hi Lone,
you were right: After a reboot and a new try Julia the Elven Queen survived.
I have played Map for 35 rounds but found here game quite one-dimensional and lame. One conquest after the after and little choice of what to next.
I then continued my game with the Draconians which I find much more interesting because I permanently had to make decisions. I guess I will finish this game until I will have defeated all AI opponents.
Your map is great and hardly impossible to completely explore. One drawback, however, is the isolation of the 5 players from each other: They don't easily get in contact with each other.
Never mind, it's a great map though. I hope other players will also find it. Or I am the only person left on this planet who plays AoW?
