Title: Pirates L.T.D. {Langstrumpf / Taka-Tuka / Deserters} Type: Single scenario Game: Heroes of Might and Magic IV (patch 2.0 advised) Expansions: None Author: Ururam Tururam Author's e-mail: urtur@wp.pl Other maps by U.T.: http://strony.wp.pl/wp/urtur/eng.html File: PirLtdEn.h4c Size: 156kB Gameplay: 3 human/computer players + 3 computer only players Map size: Extra Large Underground: Yes Difficulty: Expert Experience limit: None Special victory/loss conditions: Yes Language: English Made: May-August 2002 Version: 1.0 Description: Three clans of pirates fight for glory. They are: the Langstrumpfs, the Taka-Tuka traitors, and the Deserters (from an imperial fleet). For various pirate-like events (fight, robbery, arson, etc) the three clans earn glory points. The one that has 200 glory points wins immediately. I recommend this map for a 3-players fight. You can also play a duel (leaving the third clan to the AI), or even you may play this map in a single mode. Due to low computer intelligence the clans under the AI control get some extra glory at the beginning of the game and each week, and human players when they reach four thresholds (10, 50, 100, 150 points) have several points subtracted from their score. *Caution! To enjoy this scenario you must allow neutral armies move! Making them unmovable kills the gameplay! Notice: Signs and names that are reserved by various companies are reserved. You may distribute this map freely as long as it is a non profit distribution and the file PirLtdEn.txt (this file) is included. The simplest way is to share the archive PirLtdEn.zip. Please send your questions and comments to urtur@wp.pl - thanks. This map uses a few of undocumented features of Heroes IV. I am not sure if it will work when run using any of upcoming HoMM4 expansions. For fun and safety play it using the basic version of the game (patched if possible). And - last but not least - English is not my native language. This is a translation. Sorry for all errors and mistakes, and sorry for all the funny wordplays I was unable to translate... ***WARNING*** If you start the map the first time it may crash! If it does - just select 'new game/new map' again at it will work.
