Explore rich and diverse lands swarming with treasures and blood thirsty monsters, find what is submersed inside the ever-white mountain, walk along the fragments of a long lost Shantiri civilization. However, be aware that you are not alone, your foes are working hard to seize these lands and vanquish any competition once and for all.
Special thanks to Lord Graa ( worldofheroes.cz) for his help with cooking the map and great tips on map editor. This is a 100% custom made map (no pre-generated content).

Really good map!
does 6 human Player mean it should not be played by AI?
You can play with human friends or AI but the AI is pretty dumb!
You can switch player positions anyhow you like. The map was designed to balance difficulty for all starting positions – mainly for distances, resources, terrain movement speed (but of course there are strategic differences as the map is rather organic). Just sometimes AI is way too dumb and cant get of the mountain even there are clear paths.
By far my favourite map! Beautifully put together with strategic chokepoints and buildings/resources. Nalrin you rock!!
I found a few bugs but unsure whether they are dev or map editor – can send printscreens is useful:
1 – Underground Champion dwelling only spawns 1 type every week. For Dungeon, for example, you get 1 dragon every week but the hydra shows up as 0 x instead of 1 dragon and 1 hydra.
2 – Some ships have “path blocked” when trying to board because they are 1 square too far. For example, near the dock by the Shantiri Menagerie; near the dock by neutral town on the far east
3 -The Shantiri Menagerie next to the white two direction portal can also be accessed by boat (hero uses a ladder I’m sure 😉
4 – The AI is dumb and won’t cross that long bridge in position 1 so it will do nothing. I circumvent this by sending a ship to make the entire bridge and end neutral army visible… then the AI attacks it. (My fav starting position is 2)
5 – If the neutral town on the far west spawns as Fortress it only allows you to build the champion dwelling for the cyclops not the beast (which is my fav hehe).
Are any of these issues fixable?
I loveeeeee this map and its concept. The Hollow Mountain is beautiful!! Yes, It’s a bit tricky having to move the camera around sometimes but worth it.
I can’t stop playing this map!
Hey, man, than you for sending those bugs. I will try to find some time and resolve them if it is at all possible (as the editor is very tricky and I was unable to resolve few glitches). I am happy that you enjoy the map, hopefully I will have that amount of time one day to create another, already have an idea. 😉
I rock!!!
