Ole Europe is a new map file for Heroes of Might and Magic II.

Map Name: Ole Europe
DOS File: Europe.MP2
Creator: Michael Chausse, Altamonte Springs, FL
Create Time: 10 Hours
Size: Huge
Difficulty: Normal

Story: It's a 6 Any, X-Large, Normal.  Set in medieval Europe. Took me 140 days (game time) test-playing against 5 CPU enemies; playing as the blue player and starting out in Edinburg.  A less wimpy human player would likely bump up the difficulty rating since he/she will probably have at least a passing pre-knowledge of the geography of Europe.  The map is configured to favor a West to East conquering pattern if playing as Blue (Ireland and England), Red (Spain), or Purple (France), giving you a virtual one front war once the west is defeated.  But, the eastern-placed player has more resourses initially, and the Green player (Middle East) has the potential for easily discovering the "lost city" booty in the middle of the Sahara.  But it sure helps to start off as I did first time out as Blue with the British Isles isolated from the pesky doings of the other players.
Playing this game with other human players, though, evens out that advantage. The CPU player might "wonder" where those Phoenix equipped armies are coming from, but the human will know it's a short boat ride across the English channel to show them what Titans can do!
Let me know what you think.
