I edited the map to take them out, and that turned this otherwise bad map into a very good map. Get rid of the chains, and it's perfect. Make more islands maps!
Author: Vixin (cont.), 02-07-2003 18:12 (continued from above) Forgot to comment about the land part; It's realistic, it's well done, and it's difficult enough to be challenging. The islands are designed to give the starting castle the home field advantage. One thing you gotta be carefull about, is you -gotta- cut threw the forest to get places! You could miss out on important mines because those 4th level monsters are on the road, without even realizing you can cut threw and skip them!

The chains are completely unuseful and contribute to make the map very linear.
But apart from that, I'm not a fan of this map. The "forest" make up for the lack of interesting fights and artefacts. There are some of course, but it's REALLY not enough for an XL map.
