NOTE TO PLAYERS:
I've gotton several emails about the last hero.  
If you've played the map before, or are playing it now
and are stuck on the last hero, read on.  If not, then
this might contain a few "tips" that could be considered
spoilers.

I've received several emails from people claiming that 
the end guy was very powerful and that the only way they
could seem to kill him was the use of Armageddon-Dragon
combination several times.  So I lessened his troops
and again got a similar email.  Intrigued, I tried it 
again myself, and at the end figured out a way to beat 
it without the tiring A-D method.  Though it takes a 
week long consolidation of forces, it can be beaten 
(fairly easily) with the careful use of the BERSERKER 
and MIRROR IMAGE spells.  I think this is the first time
I have ever found Berserker a useful spell, but it is 
absolutely necessary because it A.) occupies that swarm
of crusaders, and B.) eliminates all of the other ground
troops.  Just for comparison, the two 'good' heros had 
the following approximate stats and stacks.
NOTE: When I say I, I mean the people who playtested
it for me.  It's a lot easier to write "I" than 
Ed/Bob/whatever... I was watching THEM do the following
things.

E.Lah - 30, 34, 30, 15.  90 bl.drags, 400 rangers, 90
        titans and about 120 crusaders.
E.Loh - 28, 33, 26, 23.  50 phoenix, 100 titans, 100 
	gr.druids, 20 cyclops.

These troops were amassed with the (GREAT) help of
Town Portal, of which there are two spell scrolls on
the map.  With all of the castles, it shouldn't be hard
to get these kind of troops in the last two weeks of 
finishing off the normal computer opponents.  Stats
were gotton through the Ultimate Artifacts hidden 
throughout the map (though the buried Ultimate Shield
was helpful - if it was the book or something that would
have been unfortunate).  

Ok, so I sent. E.Loh in first and eliminated half of
the rangers and a lot of the pikeman.  This was before
I realized how useful berserker was.

E.Lah went next and the first thing done was to cast
Berserker on the Crusaders.  Well, it went pretty well
from there...

The end army was just E.Lah with about 70 titans.
In light of this, I placed the Berserker spell on the
map somewhere.  If you STILL have questions, please
email me...
