                   MAGELLAN'S MAP SUBMISSION

Map Name:	Goose Thief (ZGooseTh.MX2)

Map Maker:	Bard and Victoria Bloom

E-Mail Address:	vickib@bestweb.net

Map Type:	single player (1 Human, 5 Computer)

Description:	You have stolen the Golden Goose, but you have fled
 		the noxious, goblin-infested, very poor Strimy Swamp.  
		Fortunately you're a clever and persuasive fellow.

Special Win:	NONE

Special Loss:	NONE

Special Other:	NONE

Narrative:	You're quite rich, with that Golden Goose and all, but
 		you have few other resources in the swamp --- except, 
		of course, for the swamp creatures themselves.  Your 
		enemies are rich and powerful, but they probably 
		won't bother you in the swamp.  Your final enemy is quite
		powerful indeed.  There are many sub-quests.

All Human Sides

Use Diplomacy heavily: you have the gold for it, and in the swamp
you don't have much else.  Playing the Knight will make life easiest, 
because you will get Expert Diplomacy fastest that way.  

Some places are tricky.  If you see four piles of twenty Ogres in a row, 
don't assume that the fifth will be twenty: it might be two hundred.

The game is always resource-bounded. You start off with 10K gold/day,
but it's not enough.  Before the endgame you'll have 50K gold/day, but
you'll still have to budget wisely.

The final enemy, purple, is extremely powerful: they have been 
growing Titans since the start of the game, and before.  You can 
defeat them, but you have to be a bit careful: hire a stunning number
of rocs and gryphons.
