Bridge of Woe (4)
Bridge Of Woe is a 5 player Hellscape. The eastern players have more of a luxury in deciding to cross the bridges, whereas the closeness of the 3 in the west forces a more immediate series of confrontations. The 3 bridges provide ample strategic routes for attacks. Players in the west are in a more tense situation, but they have the horses. Nobody has an abundance of rice, and the northwestern player with the only profound height advantage is cramped and suffers from the water-is-far-away problem. The northmost bridge is quite architecturally neutral, with a few choke points. The broad central bridge has a raised control position in its middle, valuable fighting terrain to hold or retreat to during an advance. The southern pathway is closest to the sulphurous ash - its surface has crumbled and warped to the point where it is mostly only a chaotic single-file line of death, hanging dramatically from its entranceways. Its dangerous nature means most players need not worry about attacks mounted through there.

Adurant
The map was designed to discourage turtling. The bases are in the corners of the map on the hills and every base has only two paths into the valley. That seems to encourage turtling, but the low amount of rice to be found on the hill and the distance to the next source of water will force the player to build a well next to his rice field and use a lot of peasants watering or to get control over one of the rice fields down in the valley. However you've got the choice between wasting a lot of units on rice and water or creating outposts.
I suggest to play the map at slow rice growth rate to encourage expansion.

Dragonland
This is a large 8-player map, usually good for LAN gaming, as playing it on GS would definitely have lag. Each base has three entrances, minimizing the chokepoints; there are a lot of small rice patches scattered throughout to encourage expansion, there is just enough rice for a single player in each base, to discourage double basing and turtling. I have play tested this map on my LANshop and found that most of the players gave encouraging feedback. As far as I have observed, turtling doesn't give good results as base raids can be done with little difficulty.

Echoside
A semi-large dense, vegetated map filled with rolling sloping hills and a winding jungle river with several flowing waterfalls flowing out into a delta then the sea. Mysterious stone carvings and statues of past jungle inhabitants riddle the riverside's mud stricken banks. The player can be attacked by an opponent from all sides any time, the heavy vegetation doesn't help you out much, try to set sections of trees on fire to clear a good view on the outskirts of your settlement.

Seaside Village Test 1 - By Mana
----------------------------------------------------
Seaside Village Test 1 - By Mana:
----------------------------------------------------
This archive contains 2 sets of different files for this map.
First set is the "Server" set which can be placed into either the
server or the client version of the game.
Second set is the 'Web" set which includes a compressed version
of the map that can be uploaded to a remote web server and used
for quick map downloads. That way the server will download the
compressed version of the map (which can sometime be 80% less
then the original map) and then extract it while the client
watches the loading bar!
----------------------------------------------------
Installation Instructions for Client/Server version:
----------------------------------------------------
Open the "Server" folder and copy all the files and folders inside
to your Dark Messiah Might And Magic Multi Player folder.
(Default location: C:\Program File\Steam\steamapps\your_steam_account_name\dark messiah might and magic multi-player)
Start the game, load the map and enjoy!

World Editor Pass Clear
By Mana in World Master
This tool will open a specified .sam file and clear all user-painted passability
from it in every pathing category. This should fix maps that were initially saved
with no start points, resulting in maps being flooded with user-impassability, and
thus causing certain pathing layers to lag the game extremely.
