I just updated this map tonight, make sure to redownload if you do play it:

- items are fixed (half the crypts were previously empty without my mod because I overlooked the item libraries)
- I changed the map name (I hadn't realized there was another map with the same name)

Should be fully playable on any ruleset now

My preference:
After the Fall
Xelm (as Undead or Azracs, played the rest)
any other AoW map

Only one new game for me though, don't have time for more.

ZFR pm'ed me to say he's up for AoW1. I think we have 7 AoW1 players with that?

Looking again at Desolate Maugogom... I really think it's a great map, many people are saying so, it really is tremendous, really the greatest, like you've never seen before. But the fake news media won't tell you about it! Plus, I edited it to address the issues last time.

Then again, An Uneasy Silence (inioch Reborn's map) is good too and is less liable to swamp everyone in a teleporting undead apocalypse. Maybe we can play both?

With An Uneasy Silence, because there are 12 starts, some of which are weak, we need to consider which 5 races to set AI. I eel there is also a risk of a couple players getting free reign to safely develop their cities off in a corner of the map, especially the Azracs and Humans, so maybe everyone should get that possibility by playing exterior-located races, while the more centrally located Halflings, Goblins, Highmen, Undead, and Lizardmen are set AI.

Sure, I'll join. This should be interesting., I'm used to tactical against humans and auto only as a house rule against AI. But I'll try my best! Are we playing on SSS mod or 1.36?

I'd try Desolate Maugogom. Also my own map An Uneasy Silence. I'll play as whatever race is left over on either map.

I am up for both! I think having one "wacky" map on the go and then a more "classic" map would be my preference. Just finished Love Thy Neighbour so sign me up!

We've only played on TS1.36 so far, maybe if we all adopt AoW+ when it's ready then there will be a new ruleset too.

With a lot of respect, it's declared not for mp by its author...

Do you expect it to be unsuitable for MP? I am not sure of that, there are parts which would make MP worse and parts which would make it better in my opinion, but it's hard to say in advance.

Well, how to put it. The hurdle is the human factor. I wouldn't take it on me to push people and check that everyone's got it at these conditions, but don't let me stop you ;)

Many of your added items don't display a graphic in the map editor. I guess this is because they refer to your mod's graphical resources?

Would it be okay for me to start the PBEM after replacing them with my 230 item set, which only uses default graphics?
Also, I am thinking that the Goblins, Halflings, Undead, Highmen, and Lizards should be AI, with Halflings and Goblins set to ally with the Elves and Dark Elves respectively.

Ah geez, I'll have to fix that - thanks for pointing out. Let's just play with your item set this time lol.

I will be free to start another game tomorrow, we have 6 players for that since Jyri is too busy for more than one.
So, I will actually start a Xelm game that doesn't feature myself, and then see who is interested in a third game.

Or, could do a 6 player map?

Edit: actually scratch that, I'll start two new PBEMs both with myself (additional to the 7 player match on An Uneasy Silence)
