The war between forces of good and evil has been raging for centuries and there is no end in sight. Both sides have already depleted most of their resources and now they turn their attention to four neutral kingdoms, which prosper peacefully in the south. Whoever seizes them first, may win this war.

Author: probne888, 14-04-2019 21:01 Like bugs - Southern Kingdoms bugs with unpassable terrains make this map incredibly annoying.
you cant access angels at the left side of castle terrain
you cant land on island with lone gold mine
There were few more i forgot plus some that others pointed out.
Also, beacause of so many borders, for the long time there is no interaction with enemy (unless you know where the tents are and rush them) - it made map a bit boring to me.
Apart from this, great potential, interesting idea to balance out teams.
oh, and when playing blue its possible to capture necropolis in day 4 or 5 (i did it by accident on first try), it's huge hit for red.
To access the angels, you need to capture the town and build shipyard in there. Not sure which island with gold mine you have in mind, but presumably the one, where you need to scuttle the boat blocking the shore to get there.
The map is intended to be slow you need to explore thoroughly and build up your economy before engaging the foe. It is a matter of preference, I would say. I will introduce a gate to prevent rushing the ports early by sea.

aaaa - Southern Kingdoms
Wow, I'm a little blown by a level of detail/planning then! I probably never would have thought about shipyard without capturing the town first. I guess i lost interest too quickly. I can't say i like this idea, but it's certainly an interesting mechanics.
Scuttle ship is obvious, i feel like an idiot.
oh, and in initial commment i forgot to mention cartographer. I stumbled upon it also rather quickly and i have mixed feelings about it. It certainly prevents game from blind roaming in search for tents (and of course is overall useful), but its placement feels too accidental and easy to reach.
Maybe consider making it a "side quest", where u mention it in a note at the begging or through some seer, i don't know.
Even if it's not exactly in my style, i would recommend this map to anyone, at least for the sheer amount of thought put into it. Good job!
Thanks for your feedback.
There are Angel Wings and Helmet of Heavenly Enlightment to be found in the "High Heavens" section, so getting in there should not be too obvious and easy.
The problem is I often put too many options into my mods and some possible playthrough scenarios and bugs inevitably escape my attention.
Author: Pedro (Madrid,Spain), 03-02-2019 19:44 Like Geat and funny map - Southern Kingdoms Very nice map, hard (but not impossible). Thanks!
Solved in month 5.
In my case, no issues with the grail... but I wasn't able to reach the light blue border gate, so I've finished the game destroying the oponent.
just a little bug near Darkshroud city: it's not possible to reach the obelisk and dragon vault.
The light blue tent is hardest to get (because it also opens gate to a tome of air). You need to collect both Wizard's Well and Ring of the Magi (possible even by buying artifacts from artifact merchant). It is located in the snow west of Solitude Tower.
There is a sign telling you how to reach the obelisk...
Spoiler: There is actually a water beneath the dark fog. You need to conquer the Darkshroud, build a shipyard there and than traverse the fog on the "Charon's& quot; ship.

Still can't access - Southern Kingdoms
I can see that there's water under the fog and the answer is to take the town and build a shipyard to get past, but there seems to be no way to access the black tent required to get to the town?
Author: Svatopluk Nevrkla (Praha 9), 31-01-2019 18:21 New version - Southern Kingdoms Hi, I have submitted new version of this map.

Well, I am sorry to hear that. This rarely happened during my playthroughs. I will try to make finding the grail harder in the next version.

AI dig Grail too early - Southern Kingdoms
Sad, but AI seek Grail not so as human and have great advantage in this procedure (depending of game difficulty)! Every RPG map author must know it! This described in this document: "Artificial Intelligence Overview". "Expert Difficulty: AI searches for Grail as soon as it can identify the approximate location of the Puzzle Map". Russian translation is in document named FizMiG (Русская версия этого документа есть в ФизМиГ): https://vk.com/fizmi g (глава "Начало игры, ИИ, ресурсы на старте и опция Штраф").
The blue AI should have found at most 2 out of 10 Obelisks at this moment, which usually is not enough to determine the approximate location of the grail, but there is still a certain chance I see. I will move the grail to a location that is not so easily accessible.
Hi, I am currently in the process of testing. I will upload the second version after weekend. The grail will be moved behind four elemental gates in the highlands in the se corner of the map.
