Varland is a home continent for eight kingdoms. After years of peacefull coexistence a traveler has discovered an ancient book that tells about a powerfull artifact that could grant eternal life and prosperity. The confict seems unevitable as the leaders rushed to be the first to find it.
Author: MiuMiu (Faraway, Kingdom), 28-08-2017 11:46 Some suggestions - The Kingdoms of Varland Overall, pretty straightforward multiplayer map but unbalanced due to its random modifications.
Some suggestions:
- Spells are not limited in any way, thus, anyone can easily get Fly or Dimension Door and avoid all the "main quest path" altogether. It would be more challenging and interesting if you do not allow these spells in the gameplay.
- Almost all artifacts are random which can make it unbalanced (e.g. one player gets almost all treasure-level artifacts, the other major-level artifacts). Pre-defining the level of each random artifact and make an equal amount for each player (e.g. 5 random treasure artifacts, 2 random major artifacts etc for each player) would make it more balanced.
- Blue player's two-way monolith guarded by Rust dragons is accessible only one landing tile at 182,140,0. If, for some reason, the boat is left there and blue cannot use it anymore nor the player has no "scuttle boat" spell, the blue player will be unable to use that portal again (unless making his/her way through the guarded garrison and then all the way around). I would suggest expanding the landing area for, at least, two tiles.
- I would give AI players some boost bonuses at the beginning, because, otherwise, as the previous commentator said, the map can be "too easy" vs AI.

Author: urielzael (Polska), 26-08-2017 13:39 Map info - The Kingdoms of Varland There are eight continents located on the surface. Each one can
be picked by a player or cpu. There are borders between each of the kingdoms that are heavily guarded by a neutral creatures.
Your quest is to find the mystical artifact before others do or invade their territories and defeat them.
Each kingdom has the same amount of resources, mines, and bonus/creature buildings.
Creatures are not randomized. They appear in their natural environment.
You will discover more informations about the world and the plot
as you play through. Messages set for certain days will slowly guide you to the artifact's location. Every player will have their
main hero as they start the game. Check the biography to learn more about him/her.
This is my first map.
It's best played in multiplayer.
