Map Name: 		Eternal Love
Map Maker:		Hans C.
E-mail:			Leddux@aol.com 
Size:		        Extra Large plus Underground
Map Type:               Multiplayer; 4 H/C 4 C
Language:		English

Description:		Torn between love and war, you must rescue your loved one 
			held captived deep underground and vanquish all enemies. 

Special Victory/Loses: 	None

Difficulty:		Impossible 

Playtester: 		Charles Cone (CECone@tecinc.com)

Narrative:		Each playable color starts with a unique hero. It will be the most
			exciting to try to play them all. 

Note: 			#1: This map has the Impossible rating. The longer you wait, the more
			powerful the AI's may grow. However, it's recommended that the map
			is played on Impossible setting to give other playable color a fighting
			chance.

			#2: If you like to play this map or think you need more challenge, 
			please give the campaign that I have made based on this map a try. 
			The campaign has the same title ETERNAL LOVE and should be available
			for download at www.archangelcastle.com, www.h3trio.com, or 
			www.astralwizard.com. I'd appreciate any feedback! 

		        #3: Due to the fact this map is completed before Shadow 
			of Death, some of Shadow of Death's combo artifacts may prove to
			become too powerful. Assemble the artifacts at your own risk of	
			"ruining" the map's difficulty level.

			#4: This map has not been tested for Multiplay games, although I 
			tried to keep everything balance among the playable colors.


Special Thanks:		To Charles Cone. Simply put, if it's not because he told me to re-work
			on the map again, I would not have bothered with it anymore. I made 
			this map during the old days full of legion-bug (where level 7 and 
			other monsters grew to legion) and gave it up when no one could finish
			the map. 
			Of course, Charles was the one who helped me out to playtest the campaign
			that I made based on this map. He's simply the best person you can rely
			on as a playtester and a friend who will give all his time and attention
			to play your maps. I will always appreciate the time you have spent 
			playing and e-mailing me with the reports, Charles!


Known Bug/Glitch:       1. One of the pink heroes seems to be able to gather additional 5 Ancient
			Behemoths out of thin air. I do not know the source of the glitch or how
			to fix it, but it will not affect anything in the game.
			2. In-game glitches include: double damage from arrow towers if your hero
			posseses Armorer skill, players can still cast Anti-Magic without 
			dispelling beneficial spells cast before it, etc. 


Dedication: 		I dedicate this map to my eternal love, you know who and where you 
			are.... 143 831

Spoilers: 		See below for mild spoilers. Good luck, you will need it.

























- Capture either the fully-built Rampart or Tower town before you try to attack the other
  well-defended towns. The two towns have Town Portal and Resurrection spells. 
- Never let the Purple hero capture the two towns in order to deny them access to
  Town Portal spell.
- You can find the following near Nimbus' prison: Helm of Heavenly Enlightment,
  Cape of Velocity, Boots of Levitation, Stoic Watchman, Bird of Perception, Emblem of
  Cognizance and a pandora box with all the spells in the game.
- Find the hidden Seers that will grant you +10 of statistics in exchange for one of the 
  three eagle eye artifact. One's hidden next to the Hellgate castle, one's behind the 
  Darkshadow castle, and a third one's behind the Darkpalace castle.
