The lack of acceptance of different cultures has after many years erupted into war. You need to work fast or you will likely be outmatched by the enemy - rumours about riches and leaderless people and dragons abound - be the first to rally them to your cause and you will be the dominant one!
Thank you for your reply! It is always nice to get feedback!
I've found the map quiet challenging myself, as the enemy heroes all get very strong (due to artifacts), though I am no expert on the gameplay - at least, until I have expert Earth magic and conquered the Dragon Isle (and thus getting the Town Portal spell). But being a multiplayer map where everyone starts out equal, it should be relatively easy, if you catch the strategy, I guess. I guess my gamestyle is too defensive/not aggressive enough for this map :-)
