Map description - This is the first map in a series that I don't intend to connect into a campaign. If anyone wants to, they can, but creating heroes and artifacts that carry over doesn't make sense, as everything is calculated. The series is an alternate history, and at its center is the state of Iceland, suffering under the oppression of imperialists. You must lead an army of rebels and return Iceland to a normal, peaceful state.
There are many events on the map. They are in the castle, for the player, on the ground, and I even added 4 rumors to the tavern. If you are interested in seeing all the events or if you have completed the Walkthrough of the mission before day 47, then open the map in the editor and look at all the other events. BUT DO NOT DO THIS BEFORE COMPLETING THE WALKTHROUGH. Otherwise, you will get confused.
Please, I am very much looking forward to your feedback, especially regarding the plot. Because I tried to make all the events inextricably linked. In this map, some events already reference the last, 6th map in the series. (You see, the other 4 are already half-ready). In addition, I tried to completely repeat the terrain of that area, and the cities, regions, lake, and mountain on the map have real-life counterparts. To verify this, you can find a map of Iceland on Google and zoom in on the area around Ólafsvík. Considering that I have some connection to them, I also tried to describe the character of this people.

Therefore, do not ignore my topic, but let me know your feedback. I need to understand whether to continue working on the other maps or not.

P.S. Don't be put off by the polite way Icelanders speak; for this, put the stress on the first syllable, and maybe you will lose the association with a bad word.

Edited version. Tested several times by me. Added two events around days 30-40, fixed a bug where the passage at the very beginning of the map was blocked, increased the amount of resources in the first-day event so that the only effective bonus would remain the choice of an artifact.


Is no one interested in the map or the story, given the low number of views? I already have a second map ready, but your silence is discouraging.

Downloaded it, I'll try to play it soon.

Added 7 hours and 38 minutes later
Played it, the storyline is good, but the map itself is VERY easy to complete. The bonuses in the form of building structures seem unnecessary to me, and it wouldn't hurt to increase the monsters' bloodlust.

Thank you for the feedback! :) I will now test your suggestions and then post the next revision. I will also try to upload the second map today. I have replaced the messages with the new version. I made all the monsters near the enemy vulnerable (except for the peasants), and the monsters on the player's territory, i.e., up to the portal, bloodthirsty. I removed the Diplomacy skill from the available skills, as it is unnecessary. I removed the player "Pearl" (Gem), who has the ability to summon a ship; otherwise, the computer might defeat you in the first week.

As promised, here is the continuation.

Map description - Johannes Einarsson continues the liberation struggle. But now, his army includes creatures such as royal cyclops, who can attract most of their brethren living on the legendary "shore of happiness."
However, the main goal now is not to recruit troops, but to quickly advance through government territories. The ultimate task is to defeat King Bjond, but this time, Johannes faces not only the servants of this tyrant but also bandits - a mixed group from Southern Scandinavia, Great Britain, and America. Who are they fighting for? Johannes has little time to delve into such questions, as he must manage to capture the tank base, which, fortunately for him, the government has not yet remembered.
So, act. Your goal is to defeat all enemies.

The next map will be posted in 2-3 weeks. I also look forward to your comments on both maps.



I have edited the map. I corrected typos in the events, removed "teleportation," "spatial gates," and "flight" from the possible spells, purely for plot reasons. These spells will be the focus of a future storyline.
Please, don't forget to comment on the maps, especially the plot. By the way, if you have completed the scenario before day 55, check all the remaining events to stay up to date with the plot.

The plot is wonderful! It’s easy and interesting to read! Keep creating maps in this series!

Thank you very much! =) Unfortunately, I won't be able to release the third map anytime soon. The terrain is ready, but I haven't written the storyline yet.

But can you answer in a private message?
