Who do you think it can't be beaten with? I've seen dwarves go the farthest. Personally, I've gone to at least sand with every default faction.

I'm glad you like it! :) I'm still trying to tweak it a bit, but I'm not quite sure how to do so. I have a couple ideas that I'll eventually get around to.

well i have an idea.. well, not an idea.. but something , lol.

If one person start getting their but kicked and moves to another person territory via bridge when teh bridges goes away the monsters swarm the former territory, bridge come back and hell opens up because you've got thousands of monsters pouring through. is there a way to stop it? you could you make it a little easier tom combat! i always let my brothers into my territory when they only have their king left and its hell when the bridges come back! maybe if theres no human player in that part they fight each other ?

Well, you could help the losing players by sending units over to them. Also, you could set up units at the pathways leading into your hex to block the enemy units from coming.

Make sure you have the latest version, too. I changed it a bit so far less enemies spawn once a side is completely wiped.

I thought I'd test my theory. I don't play it very well and my unit choice and positioning could be vastly improved. Something weird happens at the end, a 12-2 gryphon strikes my leader for 21...weird.

Ok, so I got around to making some big changes:
-altered some terrain
-added new wave spawn locations
-changed every wave spawn location
-changed spawns
-removed a village to balance reduced enemy numbers

I will be testing it online to see how it plays out before I upload it. It will probably be updated as 1.8.2 some time this weekend.

1.8.2 is live! Please give me some feedback to the new changes. :) I played a great round earlier but I unfortunately had to leave early, d'oh! We were rocking though. All 4 of us made it to turn 21 (when I left). Teamwork definitely helps. Check it out!
