Description : Lord William, your one time trusted friend and confidant, has
abused the regent position you bequethed upon him while you were at war for
King Jacob.  You now return home to a land ruled by a ruthless and harsh
dictator, and cities now populated by brigands and thieves.  You take the 
remainders of your experienced regiment and set to work recapturing your
throne, relocating your family, and trying to piece together what circumstances
have caused the once benevolent William to become the backstabbing bastard
he is now.  

Questions? Comments? Some huge bug that I missed in my playtesting?

Not much to say, really. You need to take over an ore mine to the east
realitively early on in the game.  Hire a second hero to board the boat
and pick up the wood in the sea - you'll need it.  As soon as you feel ready,
attack the swordsmen and archers.... breaking though them will allow you to
reach a second town that can be built into a second castle.  The teleporter
takes you near Yelsew, a good hero to have.... he starts with a small army that
includes several titans. Don't attack Karg (the guy blocking Rayburn's Gap)
until you feel like you have a good force.  He is holding all the other red 
heroes at bay (actually he's blocking their entrance into your territory.)
Defeating Karg opens the door..... you *will* have to go through him, just
make sure you're ready for what will come next.
