It might sound crazy to play a ladder game on Valleys of the Lost, but why not?!

VotL is an enourmous map so you will have to be willing to dedicate a serious amount of play time to this game. It is probably best for players who can play several turns per day. Also, I think the games should not be more than 1-vs-1. Otherwise, the games would simply be too long to complete.

So, if you have the time, can play often enough, and are interested, then post a message here. For every two players that sign up, I will start a 1-vs-1 game. You can specify your preferred race. If you do not, then I will start the game as Highmen-vs-Undead, which I believe is fair and balanced on this map. Also, I will tone down the AI races from Emperor to something less bothersome, as this should be a game of person-vs-person, not individual survival.

I hope everyone enjoys this map. Anny suggestions for further improvement are welcomed.
I sent an improved version of the map to Cay which is currently being used in two PBEM games. Be sure to check out the hints given in those.

Cay, if you want the Highmen, I'll take the lizards - I prefer surface positions and those two seem far enough apart. If it's leaders off, can we have a replacement? Default spheres are OK.

Edit: I'm not sure about the lizards. On first glance they look powerful bearing in mind the geography, but they have a number of guarding stacks to get by. So maybe it would be a better balanced game if I take the undead. Not sure about their spheres though.

Edit2: What the heck! I'll take undead but I would rather have 3 water 3 earth and 1 death spheres.

I don't seem to be playing many at the moment and can certainly play several turns in 'my' day. I would prefer Highmen, Halflings, Elves or Humans in that order.

Day 10 sees the empire slowly growing but at a high cost. Very frustrating to see a wraith chomp up much of my force.

Sent Cay. Lost a few scouts overnight who ventured too far on their own.

Several turns sent ... have learnt my scouting lesson having run out of scouts. *Sigh* There's always another way ... now to find my way out of the maze of passages to where I know the orcs are. All I keep finding are dead-ends though ...
