The Spine of Milavra is a mountain range that divides the continent. Recent tremors warn of the foretold "Shattering of the Spine." A great earthquake is coming, and the divided land will be reunited. But there can be only one ruler, and prophecy states that the one who controls the two towers known as the "Fangs of Milavra" will be the High King.

Every seven years, the Three Nations suspend hostilites for the Summer Solstice. Each sends a delegation to the Enchantress. She is the one who guards the entrance to the caverns beneath the Troll Mountains. For hundreds of year, the delegations have delivered their tributes, escorted initiates for her monastery, and then returned to their capitals to resume the conflict. But not this time. The Enchantress is dying, and she will no longer be able to hold back the troll hoardes living within the mountain. To make matters worse, a powerful sorceror has united the troll factions and established himself as the Troll King. Soon an organized and trained invasion will sweep across the land. Your only hope of survival is to forge an alliance, build a unified and powerful army that will wipe out the troll threat once and for all.

A rough approximation of the city, sites, and neighboring communites surrounding the Chattanooga metro area. Malls are literal gold mines, trailer parks are nests, and favorite restaraunts are spires, and wandering monsters have names like "Red Necks," "Salespeople," etc. The map isn't balanced, because the Chattanooga valley isn't balanced, but a fun and mine-filled map regardless. The four kingdoms are Pikeville, Athens, Tiftonia, and Chattsworth.
I Want to Win!

Our clan leader, Fargazer, is a masochist and pits us against the three hardest AI's known to man (Rowsby Woof, Retasha, and Darxer) and then
adds insult to injury by giving them a head start (bigger starting cities). So after much whining from BlaqFox and ClayPigeon we each agreed
to design maps that would give us a fighting chance to finally, maybe, win a game. We're getting burnt out having our collective butts whipped
week after week. My contributions to self-esteem building and ego survival are (in order of increasing difficulty):
- Island Twist 192x192 flat plain, evenly divided into nine
equal squares, each connected by narrow bridges. To move from the SW to the NE corner requires a route resembling an S. Two teams of 3
with the center three islands unoccupied. Playing scenario gives full technologies. No mines, lairs, etc.
- Nine Islands 192x192, same as Island Twist but
with more bridges (four at each instersection of the dividing channels), making choke point control harder to achieve.
- Dragon Heart 320x320 flat plain divided diagonally
by a mountain range. Starting cities are in each corner with one located centrally in each half. The dividing mountain range has one
opening guarded by Ice Drakes, Ceyadev, and Khuldanite Golems but also has many rich mines. The AI side of the ridge has more mines that
aren't in the monster control zones, to compensate for all the companies they loose wandering into the monsters, and to keep drawing them
to the control point. After breaking through the choke point the battle is just beginning as all the open space makes winning a long
process of attrition (a simulation test ran for 8 hours)!

- BlaqFoxLiability.zip I get off to a great start, but micro managment
gets mentally overwhelming and lag stutters make accurate mousing difficult. Despite 2 Retashas
and a Rowsby Woof, we should have won, but Fargazer had me as a liability.
