E-Mail Address:	tduncan@haverford.edu

Map Type:	Single Player Expert
		1 Humans Only, 5 Computer Only

Description:	The Sequal to Last Hope.  After your 
		previous (and hopefully victorious) 
		struggle, you decided it was high time
		for the vacation up the Calamazar River
		you always wanted to take.  Big mistake..


Special Win:	Defeat Enemy Alliance (King of the Hill)

Special Loss:	Lost Corribus

Special Other:	None

Narrative:	You'll get most of it in the map.  
		However, I elected to try something
		new in this map: instead of you building
		up and beating a big stationary last guy,
		I made you big and the last guy bigger,
		and he isn't stationary, so you may have
		to play cat and mouse for a while before
		you can beat him.  Because of this, the
		map events trail off after awhile and
		continue in the accompanying text file
		(Journal.txt).  You don't have to read 
		them if you don't want.  They are just
		there to enhance the enjoyability of the
		map.  Hope you enjoy.  Email me!

All Human Sides
Completely
Play-Tested:	No, because I don't care about the HOMM
		community.  OK just kidding!  Of course
		they are playtested, though it took me
		several restarts before I was successful.

I'm not going to put many spoilers here.  I think there
are many ways to beat this map and I dont want to ruin
your adventure by putting how I did it here.  Just
a few pointers for the beginning of the game to help you 
out.

1. Get the gold mine (yes, you can beat that many peasants)
   Block the portal and leave him there until rescued.
2. With Catarina, kill the Paladins guarding the 
   lighthouses and the genies to the north.  You will 
   probably lose a lot of troops, but you must take
   both of these spots!
3. Get the seeing eye pendant on the tiny island south
   of Holbark, not necessarily in the beginning though.
4. Visit all three sphinxes - there are clues to their
   answers hidden in the level so look hard!
5. Rescure Corribus.  You may or may not be safe on that
   island (d-door), so rescue him SOON.  He is also a 
   high level hero and you'll need it.
6. Don't get discouraged.  Start with the barbarians.  It
   will probably take you several months before you get
   a hold of the map, if you get a hold of the map.  Your
   opponents start out with HUGE advantages.
7. Watch out for THUNK.  Do not engage him until you are
   ready and do not end a turn near him or near a portal,
   as he will attack and kill your main hero.  You may
   and probably will have to give up LOTS of castles to
   him and flee through a portal to avoid destruction.
8. Free Bred as soon as you can from his prison (need
   the Blue tent).  He has lots of crusaders that you 
   could use.
9. Look at the rumors!  They'll tell you which heros to
   avoid and other useful information.
10. Find Battle Garb and Find UA.

Thats about it.
