Gauntlet (H5 Tribes of the East Large map with underground) will be a challenging one with big battles guaranteed. The map is suited more for two human players to battle against 6 computers of different factions who are all allied against you and your partner. Usually you have to fight the enemies turn after turn but if you tally too long, you can be certain to have to worry of more than one opponent at same time. Human Players position are in the middle of the map. Ideally this is the order you have to beat opponents (this may still change)- Haven - Academy- Necropolis/Rampart-Stronghold-Dungeon/Fortress-Inferno (maybe I add them). Human players start with random towns. Ideally this is meant for 2 human players to beat but I try to make it so it's beatable in sp mode as well. I'm not sure whether I'll make or if map needs any scripts.
Gateworks (H4 Equilibris with underground) is a rather unique story map, which, while has the good vs evil setup but does so in a very odd world. Like I've said, the gates will play large role in this map. They'll be scripted so that the player has to go couple times a round the map and to pass the each gate requires the player to do something. Also when you re-enter each area from the gate, there'll be some areas unlocked. You have to get around the map couple times before you're granted the passage to the middle area. In the middle area there is finally a couple towers which hold a puzzle that when completed, completely opens the map. Meantime there'll be quite a few minor quests and locations that either affect you or your opponent. Player can take the position either as Good or Evil in this map and both side has 2 custom heroes to start with that are essential. The map is singleplayer but can be fun as a dual as well. There'll be also AI only players in the map.
