I LOVE this map. the red lines are a little bit of an eye sore but the map itself is brilliant. the special indies are tough (although i dont think that hoburg province should have multiples of the sharpest tooth) and rewarding to kill. that centre province is hell to capture (although you can bypass it by seiging with a scout since the indies will never break the seige)
this map would be pretty good for mp blitzs imo. maybe the reason i loved it is because my starshine skullcap+spell focus weilding mage squad shielded by buffed heart companions (luck, ethereal and e9 s4 bless) enslaved me a load of useful indies from the mummy province.

Thanks for the feedback shovah, glad you enjoyed it!

I agree on the hoburg province. I was tired, and the effect just seemed to fit at the time, but looking back at it, the sharpest teeth were a bad call. Any suggestions on something to spice up the little ant commanders?

I am attaching an updated & zipped tga with an alternate border color that is hopefully a little easier on the eyes than the red borders. I am still not happy with the choice of colors, but it is a little less obtrusive.

Below is a screenshot with the alternate border color:

Ugh, forgot to attach the zip to the last post, so here it is.

the hoburg provinces are a little weak aswell, maybe make one of their commanders like a giant hoburg (size 4-5, good equipment)

Giant hoburg!

Have it be a gold-clad Jotun Herse, name it Carrot, and give him Faithful the sword. Not exactly the one in Discworld, but I think would be recognizable.

How about air shield medallions and burning pearls for misc slots, and the lighting whip for weapons? Maybe that isn't strong enough, but the problem with giving hoburgs excellent equipment is whomever kills them can get it.

Hmm, what about lycan amulets?
