Jackdaw -- Common black-and-gray Eurasian bird noted for thievery.
Jackdaw Jake wins an all expenses paid trip to the Fantasy Estates #4 housing development created by New World Consulting. All he has to do is sit through a sales pitch and collect 1000 pieces of gold. Nothing goes according to plan.
Version 2.0 -- Adapted for TOE, Jake is now a Barbarian. This version eliminates the random HOF crash and makes several small improvements suggested by players of the HOF version.

Oh, and taking the castle is easy: Kill the mage & archers with your centaurs and hero, and use your goblins to run away from the swordsmen (12 vs 8 initiative) until your hero kills them off :)
Author: GrowlingDog (Australia), 21-02-2012 08:18 How? How the hell do i get 12 centaurs and 12 goblin (useless) to beat a mage, 25 archers and 16 swordsmen? The map looks good but i can't work out how to start my first castle.
Author: Femke (Netherlands), 14-05-2010 14:42 great map Great map, very different from al other i ever played.
Author: Wups (Germany), 17-03-2010 18:56 Like nice interessesting but not the best map i've ever played !
anyway good map but not 10/10...
9/10!
Author: Nick (USA), 15-03-2010 19:24 How cute. Funny that the AI should mention how weak the starting army was, claiming he'd fix it, only to add 8 (to a total of 12) more centaurs to go against a mage, 25+ archers and 15+ swordsmen?
Author: alexander (good old germany), 21-02-2010 18:08 Yes, this is the best story Very nice map with a super story line, thanks a lot
Author: Sara M. Smith (USA), 14-02-2010 10:44 Like Most interesting map I've ever played The dialogue between the programmer and the AI was great, and all the supposed "bugs" that were fixed as the player progressed were fantastic. Definitely the most developed map I've ever played, and by far the most interesting. (I've been playing Heroes since Heroes 2.) Kudos to the author.
Author: Tim (USA), 13-07-2008 19:08 Please see my comment under the HoF version I made a comment under the HoF version, but that was mistakenly placed - I am actually playing thew ToE version, so it applies to this update of the map.
Thanks to the author for the map, and any help he/she can provide.
