1-7 players + 1 computer player. This map will give all solo players a unique experience each time they play a faction. Every Faction has its advantages and disadvantages. Can be played in multiplay or allied. Theres quite a bit of luck too with unlocking the jails first. Rich and Resorceful.

Unusual start in that you have hours of pushing down tunnels before ever encountering an enemy city -- it was month 2 week 3 before I took one! The fights in the tunnels are well made and challenging, but it was such a welcome sight to come up out of the hole and see a normal fortified city again! ...And then it was only a backdoor to grab an artifact behind the city and you couldn’t fight. Hilarious.
It's cool to have your starting cities really make a mono-Stronghold army instead of combining whatever cities you happen to capture. And then your quests and unlocks outstrip what you can build. I've never ridden Walking Dead to so many victories as I did with the giant stack one quest gave me.
It’s fun to spy on your ally and sneak through the gates they open up. I don't really know why you get an ally since you aren't hard pressed.
It is kind of tedious doing every single battle perfectly with hundreds of units for hours, with no sieges or defense. There is no threat to your home towns pretty much ever. I guess on a huge map enemy heroes will be few and far between, so if there aren't gates bringing them toward your cities you will never see them.
I really enjoyed the rewards from quests and Pandora's boxes, they always felt rewarding. I maxed out my attack stat, don't think I've ever done that before.
There's so much treasure every step of the way that I was bringing along two minor heroes to pick up after each main hero. It's fun but it does mean you're exploring less and moving slower. Between that and the hard fights this probably took more of my time than any map I've played.
I quit in month 4. When the map gives you so much power, it's fun, but it's clear the enemy heroes will never compete and you'll just be rolling up the map. Maybe if the other players were humans you could have some epic 60-power battles with thousands of units. The map needs a win condition -- something that says "you finished your unique area and found the final battle, that's all you need to prove". I'll give it my Like, but it wears out its welcome.

Author: Alex (Switzerland), 30-04-2023 19:53 Like Cool, but too easy near the end - This is Legion 7 Chaos Played as tan (Rampart); finished in 100 days. The beginning and the mid-game are definitely the best parts - you don't have Resurrection/Force Field yet, so you need to play carefully.
Once I freed Verdish, who has DD, it was basically over - she would teleport near AI's town, capture it, and then the main hero would TP there and kill AI's heroes.
The final battle with Serena seemed challenging at first, but she had no chance against 37k Liches that I had farmed :)
Author: Karolis, 11-08-2019 21:41 This is legion impressions - This is Legion 7 Chaos Finished with necropolis. Was a fun map, managed to farm 118k liches :D thanks!

Cant play as orange - This is Legion 7 Chaos
Downloaded the version to be able to play as orange but it didnt work. Tried downloading them all but no orange so is there any way to fix to be able to play as orange?
Author: R. (Craiova, Romania), 22-11-2017 19:09 myth - This is Legion 7 Chaos Decent to good map especially if you want to get rid for a while from those pixel hunting with editor open maps. finished it first time with necro in 7 months and 3 days, but the game was pretty much done after 5months and 2 weeks. the rest of the time i was running on the map and tried to find the remaining enemies.
2nd time i finished it with red. i mean, it was done in month 3, but im in month 5 now and just realised the last one is serenna, with legions of troops. i have to wait too much to gather armies. my main hero has almost nothing after the last battle.
as i said, good map, but I always get triggered by the high quantity of artifacts.
Also, that one color with one way gate exit next to the starting castle can't be done i think. I got rekt in week 3 by a hero that i coulnd't even touch.
Author: Maygwan, 27-08-2015 08:31 updated - This is Legion 7 Chaos updated version added fixed the boat issue for red player and made tan rampart 1 way mirror inbalance sorted. enjoy the map
Author: Valery (Lyon, France), 23-08-2015 23:00 test - This is Legion 7 Chaos Hi Maygwan,
Please test your map with each color. Tried stronghold and can't go in boat after building. Just remove that obstacle between hero and boat then will be ok.

+ - This is Legion 7 Chaos
I know but when you play on impossible, the extra 10k + wood from sea isn't replaceable. Also as stronghold I don't need mage guild first week + the spell isn't flagged so not 100% chance will be in. :)

Author: mike123, 20-08-2015 17:52 Cool map, but unbalanced - This is Legion 7 Chaos I enjoy this map - there's a lot to do, a lot of things to explore, and indeed all colors have their own unique challenges and benefits. However it's unfortunately not very balanced across colors.
My first attempt was with Tan (Rampart). It has a one-way teleporter that allows enemies (specifically, Blue) to arrive on your doorstep. They are held at bay for a few weeks by the garrison that is just in front of your first castle, but they can certainly pass it around week 3 or 4 with an overwhelming army that you stand no chance against. Of course, they also get a Town Portal scroll along the way too. So your best hope is that they capture your castle, then leave so you can re-take it with your meager army. Rampart simply cannot build up a defense to an enemy of this strength by that time.
My second attempt was with Pink (Necropolis). Due to the large number of large stacks in special events, one can quickly grow a large skeleton force and capture the additional two towns in the vicinity, plus two more necropolis towns via two-way teleporters. With an easily-accessible Town Portal scroll, this allows you to build up a forceful army. Even then however, it's obvious that the computer (Blue) builds up much more quickly than you can actually grow troops in your own castles, even with five of them. So you really rely on the skeletons to beat back the powerful Blue heroes. So while this allowed me to control the map, it sort of felt like cheating since it relied on the overpowered skeleton capability.
Overall a good map, but I think it could use a little tweaking for balance before it becomes a long term classic solo map.

ty for input - This is Legion 7 Chaos
Thanx for the input on the map i will defo look at your suggestions for when i release a 2.0 version of the map. i tried it with inferno first and quickly used dig to slow down opponents in the water, i also played dungeon and knowing the map quite well that helps you and gives an advantage. But yes i will definitely take all suggestions in when i do an update ty.

balance - This is Legion 7 Chaos
I made the map so it was more balanced playing allied. I put the 7 solo maps in has optional and that they would be a challenge. So they were meant to be slightly unbalanced and i think some factions are easier to play than others. But i do know a lot of people out there like a real challenge vs the ai so hopefully i pulled that off.

This is Legion 7 Chaos walkthrough
Special Other: I have included 8 maps each if u play has a solo player vs all comp and the other is the allied map
The allied map will be hard while the solo maps are for experts only.
