Brief description of the settings:

==================================

MAP SIZE

---------

The largest settings might take some time to generate, the

320x320 usually takes about a minute or two on a 3.2GHz P4.

MONSTERS

--------

First, note that when playing on heroic settings all monsters

are ~50% larger than in the editor. Also, on heroic all stacks

grow 11% per week (50% per month).

On "normal" most monster stacks are lots

on "strong" lots to horde

on "very strong" most are close to throngs.

The "hairy" and above settings should be played only be expert

players who know what they are getting into. Playing extra hairy

on heroic will likely to require you to pound through a zounf or

a legion of upgraded lvl 7:s

On OMFG setting, there might be millions of level 7s out on

the map. You have been warned :-) And yes, it is playable when the

map is of decent size. Even without fly/dimension door.

Also note that the map size does not affect the size of the largest

stack - the stack sizes are determined by ther relative distances to

the starting areas. Do NOT attempt OMFG on a too small map!

RESOURCES

----------

Richer gives generally more of everything on the map. We prefer to

play on "poor". The filthy rich setting is not recommended, the

map will be cluttered with stuff.

FAIRNESS

--------

Basic fairness means: isomorphic maps (that is, for each area there

are corresponding areas for each opponent) with similar objects. The

number and kind of objects may vary. For instance if you encounter

an area with several stat-improving buildings (like marletto tower),

your opponent will have at least some stat-improving building in his

corresponding area as well.

Also on basic fairness, all players receives equal number of towns

(throughout the map), roughly the same mines, and roughly the same

objects in the starting areas.

Advanced fairness: all players have the same border guards between

areas, and also, exactly the same guards guarding the key objects

in the starting area (like wood and ore mines).

Expert fairness: the "too fair to be fun" setting. All players get

exactly the same objects in their corresponding areas, as well as

similar guards (as above). The main difference is which artifacts

you find, this setting only guarantee the same number of say relics

in the corresponding areas.

Disable instant travel/fly

--------------------------

Disables the fly artifacts as well as the instant travel spell.

Disable necromancy

------------------

With this setting no necropolis heroes can be hired. Necropolis

players start without a hero.

Disable puppet master

---------------------

Disables the puppet master spell.

Disable joiners

---------------

Causes all monsters to either flee or fight, never to join.

HoF expansion compability

-------------------------

Enables objects, artifacts, monsters, spells and heroes from the Hammers of Fate expansion.

PLAYERS

-------

Number of players. So far, a maximum of six players is supported.

TEAMS

-----

Allows you to select the among a few team configurations. Only two teams

are supported. In the created maps usually the path between teammates is

easier than the path to the opposing team. Team maps takes slightly longer

to create than maps without teams.

TERRAINS

--------

This is just for aesthetics, if one of you is going to play inferno

it is nicer to select "lava" as his(her) terrain. This causes all

areas having a town of player 1:s alignment to have the specified

terrain.

The snow terrain is reported to be buggy without the expansion, do not

select snow starting terrain if you do not play with the HoF expansion.

BROWSE

------

You can rename the map file, as well as set the file format for it.

The default filenames are chosen in a way that the newest map will

appear topmost in the list of maps displayed by the game.
