The land was finally conquered by the intruders. Dwarf and Men were forced to ally. They were helplessly standing by, when other Fractions joined the valley, settling in the underground.
The years went by, infrastructure, temples, tombs and altars were build, the face of the land changed.
Waiting for a weakness Dwarf and Men look for the right moment to fight the intruders back.
Good luck....
This is a scenario for up to 2 Players. Chose either Dwarf or Man and fight the intruding races back.
There are 8 races on the map which are:
Men
Dwarf
Orc (now AI)
Undead
Frostling
Dark Elf
Frogs
Highmen
Have fun!

April 18, 2006: Thanks to Gandalf the mapmaker for the hint that there was a bug in the map. I revised it so that you do not need to open the editor first (read comment) and make the Orc an AI :)
I also made a few changes to the landscape. Hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to your comments....

Quite good a map, Dan! The map is nicely designed, I was happy especially to see the good-looking underground terrains. Many mapmakers tend to pretty neglect them by simply leaving bare dirt, but at this map, there is fairly big amount of ,,eye candy" in underground. The underground levels are also very well shaped, and quite original. The surface is nice, too, although the Undead isle could be done a bit better. Also, the shape of the islands isn't the best one, there could be less straight lines, and it might be looking more natural. The map is enjoyable when played, you need some effort to beat those nasty AIs. I especially enjoyed chasing those who dwell in underground. Balance is really good, both playable races have equal starting conditions and chance to win. However, you made a mistake in design - according to description, only Dwarves and Humans are playable races, but you mistakely fixed Orcs as an human player. Fortunately enough, it can be fixed it in editor, because map isn't password-protected, but you should be aware of such things... Always check the map before submitting, mate. The storyline is nice but pretty short, even when considered it is an multiplayer map; also, you could have used some more signs, this would add a kind of atmosphere of fantasy world to the map. Finally there could be some heroes of your own creation in addition to the old ones.
Anyway, it is a good map, and pretty better than first ,,Of Dwarf and Men". Keep it up![Edited on 04/12/06 @ 09:52 AM]

Quite easily:
open the editor, press ALT+"Print", then paste it in Microsoft Paint.
Then cut out the minimap, delete the rest of the picture and paste it again.
Then reduce the size to 150x150 pix.
That' s it:)
