Playable races: Humans, Azracs, Elves, Halflings, Dwarves, Highmen.
AI races: Lizardmen, Dark Elves, Goblins, Orcs, Undead
This is a leaders off map ONLY
The Elves, Halflings and Dwarves are allied against the Humans, Azracs and Highmen. However the computer races will be your biggest problem (in the beginning anyway).
There are Death-nodes all over the map, the Undead will teleport to those so beware! If a party is placed next to a Death-node it´s set to "Guard" and wont attack you.
If you play with Warlocks rules i´ve made sure that no hero can have more than 8defense at any time wich hopefully will make them a little weaker.

Things I look for in a map are realistic geography, aesthetic terrain, interesting items/heroes, and a half-decent story with pop-ups and background info.
This map has all of those and better. It's so easy to become immersed in this map, it's story and it's characters. And exploring beautiful, highly considered terrain is so much fun. You won't find any 1-tree-type forests on this map!
Great job Raveji!

I played this map as the Elves in single player mode. Since this map is designed for multi-player, your allies will quickly become overwhelmed and you will be on your own rather quickly. To add to the difficulty, you will start with very weak forces, and face a constant onslaught of dragons and level 4 characters, seemingly popping up everywhere in endless numbers! For the 1st 50 turns, mere survival is your sole objective. The map design is truly incredible. I have played hundreds of these maps and was surprised I had overlooked this one, but I am glad I found it. I would rank it as the best map I have played - both for uniqueness and difficulty. I played this to a draw at 366 turns. There were 2 groups of Orcs on 2 teleports that were seemingly inaccessible. At 150 turns it was still presenting a challenge at every turn - the AI forces are that plentiful and mobile, as well as hidden underground! A truly one-of-a-kind map that will challenge the best players. [Edited on 11/23/19 @ 10:00 AM]

An incredible map only let down by the too drawn out mopping-up phase, which is an unfortunate side effect of a very intricate map design. You really need to start tunneling and explore every nook and cranny ASAP.
I think every hero, item and town are custom made/named. And there's lots of items to find and heroes to rescue from prisons. There's not much text messages, instead the background story is indirectly told by the presence of these prisons and the ravaged landscape.
Playing as the Humans, my Highmen ally was defeated very quickly, while the Azracs held out on a small peninsula. The Dwarves were also wiped out very early, while the Elves and Halflings held out for a while. The Elves seem to have the easiest starting position and the Highmen the most difficult one.
With six races to choose from the map should be fairly replayable. It's a very exhausting one, though; it took me three weeks and 75 turns before I quit with only some hard to find and reach pockets of resistance left.
There are so many units issuing forth from Death Nodes that I envsioned this map as having a third level wall-to-wall with undead units behind timed flame barriers, but it is really only two levels with lots of clusters of 2-3 towns producing an endless horde of undead pouring into one way teleporters. It's very rewarding to head down below and conquer these towns. [Edited on 03/16/22 @ 02:23 AM]
