I've only downloaded the World Adventure so far... The map is nice, of course, but it seems tailored for necromancers: I have two mastodons running around, each with 10 tons of skeletons... It seems like there won't be much suspense left... And another thing: you know, when events pop up with messages like "a huhuhu nehoho" or "risk your health," it's... mmmm.... well, basically, it's not a big deal...

Regarding Kansas (if you really need suggestions on how to make the map better): I've just started playing, and so far, I've noticed that necromancers and humans again have an advantage over all other races. Because their resource depots produce ore and wood. I would ban them (the depots)... Without them, of course, it will be tough... But I like the idea of having resource scarcity at the start:D

P.S.: And you, I see, are a hardcore necromancer:D :D Well, and the maps deserve respect, good job!

Understood! Thanks for the well wishes!!! I certainly wasn't trying to make it look like Necropolis...))) But yes, a "Frenzied Necromancer" – that's definitely accurate!!!
Thanks for the compliment – it was especially difficult to achieve symmetry in Kansas!

Do you make maps yourself?

+ I would remove the gates to the Underworld and the teleportation points in the center of the map. I sailed there with Galtrand and a ton of skeletons, captured 8 (!!!) griffin conservatories on the surface and in the Underworld, and I think I can gather another half a ton of swordsmen and archers in a week or two... + Sphere of Inhibition, + Medal of Vulnerability, + 2 (!!!) Grails... + I'll take another two Pandora's Boxes in a week (I could do it now, but it's not urgent), and there's a pretty good bonus there too... In my opinion, it's a victory, and a rather unexpected one: the whole game was spent running around mills and trading resources on Thursdays, and then this unexpected joy:smile26: In short, for online play (and for single-player as well) - it's a mega map, the only questions are about: - resource warehouses; - central cities: is it too much to have two in one player's hands???

thank you for the praise - it was especially difficult to create symmetry in Kansas!

And you try to follow the link in AmberSolera's signature, there's a pretty good program for copying terrain... I haven't really used it myself, I just didn't really want to create symmetry...

and do you make the maps yourself?

So far, I've only created two. And, frankly, only the second one seems to have turned out well: it's on "Best Map," and I thought you'd already seen it... But I'll tweak it a bit more for balance + write a description (a week or two), so I think we'll still compete for the championship:D And I can already see that it won't be just the two of us:D Take a closer look at the maps, there's some interesting stuff there... :smile08::smile08::smile08: "Best Map" this time is an order of magnitude stronger than last year, IMHO...
