I see you haven't included a Beastmaster... Anyway, you can use this name: Wy Vern, but I think it doesn't fit with your characters.

Targon asked if I could give more detail about the storyline.  So here it is.

Ralaksh, the main character, was born in the Land of Swords, and was trained as a Battle Mage.  He realized that the king was about to die, and that meant a long struggle for power would soon commence.  To compensate for his small domain from which to draw recruits, he turned to necromancy.  Finding an ancient tome in his library, he began studying.  BUt after a skirmish with a neighboring warlord, he was discovered.  He was forced out of his domain by his own people, and no other warlord would let him into thier realm.  He had no choice but to leave for the neighboring Land of the Dead.  He hatches a plan to conquer the Land of the Dead and use its forces to mount a armed return.
(The first scenario starts here.  What follows is a brief overview of each scenario.)
Scenario 1:  Ralaksh enters the Land of the Dead, and finds himself in the County of Yukuant.  Count Hexa rules this domain, and Ralaksh' presence is unwelcome.  Ralaksh, however, must take Yuuant if his plan is to succeed.
Scenario 2: Ralaksh has taken over Yukuant, but in the process he has realized that he still has a long way to go as a necromancer.  He has heard about an artifac known as the Vampire's Cowl which is held by a group known as the Order of Life.  They have hidden on a small offshore island, and will stop  at nothing to keep it away from necromancers.  Leavving his most trusted lieutenant in charge of the mainland war, Ralaksh stes out for the island.
Scenario 3: The war has been goin well for Ralaksh, and he is only a few hundred milees from the capital.  However, he has pressed too quickly into enemy territory.  A counteroffensive has cut him off from the bulk of his forces.  He must recapture the twon of Brokenrib in order to regain access to the rest of his troops.  However, in just seven weeks reinforcements will arrive in Brokenrib and the twon will be unassaiable.
Scenario 4: Most of the Land of the Dead is now in Ralaksh's hands, but he had no way of knowing that Queen Pleuris has rereated into the fortified Skullhaven Valley, taking a third of the kingdom's army with her.  Meanwhile, Pleuris' second-in-command, Archduke Meldiorin, has taken to the field with the balance of the loyalist forces.  Ralaksh must battle with both of them in turn if he is to gain the throne.
Scenario 5: Ralaksh has been king for six years.  The armies of is kingdom are still recovering, however.  One morining, Ralaksh awoke to find the symbol of royal authority, the Armor of the Damned, stolen.  The culprit appears to be Lord Bloodwirth.  To recover his loss, he must kill Bloodwirth.  The relative sizes of their forces, however, mean that time is not on Ralaksh's side.
Scneario 6: Twent-one years have gone by since Ralaksh took the crown from Pleuris.  Although he thought Lady Vu to be dead, Ralaksh was mistaken.  Vu has surfaced again, and she is now leading an insurection in the province of Harktodawn.  Every undead in the province has been destroyed, except for Ralaksh's own retinue, with him as he was jouneying through the area.  If his kingdom is to survive, the entire rebellion must be annihilated.
Scenario 7: Dragon Coast has supplied the Land of the Dead with Bone Dragons for centuries, but recently the dragons have all but vanished from the area.  Also,  several small towns have been sacked by creatures apparently coming form underground.  Could the two events be related?
Scenario 8: Ralaksh has been king for thirty-eight years.  He has maried and fathered two children.  The time has come for him to return to his homeland.  He will die King of the Land of Swords.  He will not live forever.

Scenario 2 is about 35% done.  I'm going to work on it this weekend.  I'm racing agaist 3DO to get my campaign done before HOMM4 hits stores.
And has anybody beaten Scenario 1 yet?  I haven't gotten any feeedback from the people who asked for it.  Is it balanced?  I wasn't able to playtest it myself, due to the fact that the screen gets so dark hen I play that I can barely see anything even on 100% brightness and contrast.

Use "Mutus Draco" as an Overlord/Warlock name...he's Mutare's husband.

you could use my alternative nickname, Lith Maethor, but it should be the name of a good/neutral, male, (half)elven hero...

BTW: it's Sindarin for "Ash Warrior"


oh, please send me a copy...

Don't you read your emails.
Well I pasted my email here...so...


Where's was count Hexa by the way.
Did I SQUASS him accidently?.....

Just played the first map, here are my 5 cents:

I started with caste (Adela)...my luck was that the 2nd random town was also a castle. Diplomacy and a Wolfraider doubled population in the first month probably gave me to much of an advantage (those conservatories too).
The pandora's box to the left has got a to weak a defense.

Perhaps you could customize the creatures to "no join" (savage). I just walked around a bit to see the rest of the map and finished in 54 days for a score of 2220 and a rating of Dendroid Archer.

To my (not so humble opinion) U should spice up the map a bit. Just make it harder. The AI never got around to using the teleporters in my neighbourhood. If they would have and been somewhat stronger the rating of the map might go up (in difficlulty).


I like a first map of a campaign to be not to easy...for I loose my interest. Perhaps it was your choice to create a easy map to strat with...in that case forget these last few line.

Looking forward to playing the next map!

PS: is this the kind of review/response you want or should I comment on terrain use/story line etc?
