Additional changes have been added to ver 4.0 after some feedback from KGB

attempts to balance "first turn advantage"
- now 3 starting position options for 4v4 available from the pop-up menu
*default: 4v4 teams split - is now as KGB suggested with teams split in pairs on opposite sides
*4v4 Alternate - team is divided in every other position
*4v4 Top vs. Bottom - is the old ver. 3 setup
-removed strength temple
-moved "middle wall" cities to be matched

other notable changes
-added 2 additional cities
-added 9 level 2 ruins (8 around the perimeter, 1 in the middle)
-added 16 additional income sites (8 in the water, 8 around the perimeter)
-added rivers to make water tactics more viable options

This looks much better. Although I really liked going to the bless site first and sitting there forever .

I started a game on this map and I thought the central bless was removed. When game started I could see the bless site in fog of war but I said that could be a glitch. When I finally went there I saw one of my opponents Paladin-Assassin combo sitting on the ruin. So apparently the new map is not implemented yet.

By the way I lost the game.

Tabanli,

I started a game on this map about 10 days ago. At that point it was using the new version (5.0) that has removed the strength bless site (the move and undead lore bless sites remain).

How long ago did you start the game?

It was after this forum review. Game lasted 15 turns so it should be around July 1. I am glad it is removed now.
