The king is dead--assassinated!.  Chaos reigns supreme as the remaining leader battle for supremacy over of the lands.  Unwilling to divide the lands equally, only one option remains . . . WAR!



Author Comments:

I tried to slow done the development of the humans by making early expansion difficult.  I accomplished this by guarding many of the surrounding areas.  Consequently, a single unit or even a small party will probably get annihilated.  The map has been play tested by myself and a friend and should prove quite enjoyable.



Side Note:

In developing this map, I found the AI for the non-human leaders to be lacking in many ways.  I was however able to tweak it to the fullest by placing forts under my control and surrounding them by mountains so that I may "watch" the computer play.  It helped immensely!
