very detailed and cool/fun map but theirs definitely not enough resource structures as you start of with -5 gold (or less) as most of the leaders

There is still frost ocean above scandinavia. I understand you have limited time, but please hone up the scandinavia.

Wouldn't England be more realistic to have goblins? :d2brewmaster:

is there any way i can copy this map and make my own custom characters spawn in certain locations?

I don't mind although it would be very nice to get bigger map sizes for AoW3.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 22 May, 2019 @ 8:12am 
Yeah, unfortunately those compromises had to be done.
Clickshe 22 May, 2019 @ 7:39am 
I guess the map size didn't really allow you to use Northern European countries. (Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland)
Fonzosh 14 May, 2019 @ 12:02pm 
Thanks, will do an underlayer with a lot of modifications.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 14 May, 2019 @ 10:07am 
Yes of course, go right ahead!
Fonzosh 14 May, 2019 @ 8:34am 
Hi, Im using your map as a OBEM game and doing a lot of changes. I wonder, if it is ok for you, to upload the map afterward. Of course, with credits to you.

A poll will be launched to elect and rank the 20 best mods of AoW3 as of 2017. In order to shortlist the 20 mods, I opened a discussion here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/226840/discussions/0/1473095965290519438/ Please share your favourite mods there. Please also comment on the mods already listed so that we can see which are the favourites to be in the shortlist.
Maps are not included but there is also a discussion to elect the best maps here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/226840/discussions/0/133261370004062967/
So you can comment on that 2nd discussion to support the Fairy Tale Europe map.

There is imbalance for England quite heavly, they make two gold a turn starting off.
Franziskus 18 Oct, 2015 @ 4:39am 
Just a brief note: It seems to lme that the map has a bug (or may I miss any prerequisites?). All leaders haven't any skill attached. You can only see black emty circles instead of real skills like water magic etc. Further if you dare to click on them the game crashes completely. Finally - if you start a new scenario and leave it to start it again the maps eased availlable any more.

How to i use a map in age of wonders 3?
GBC 19 Sep, 2015 @ 5:34am 
please laeve a version - no dlc´s required - your map is great! and i cant afford the dlcs too soon..
GrumpyScamp  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 10:22pm 
I've been wanting to update it a long time, but haven't really had the time. I want to add the new factions from the latest DLC and also do some work on the balance of the map. Like you said, add more resources, wandering and spawning monsters, ruins and the like to make it more exciting. We'll see when I have the time.
Olorin 10 Aug, 2015 @ 4:39pm 
Yea too sad that most of the modders dont share your point of view ^^
Not sure I will share it, just wanted to make it better for me, just wanted you to know ;)
GrumpyScamp  [author] 10 Aug, 2015 @ 6:42am 
Hey, thanks! Oh, you can upload it if you want. Just credit me as the original author, and it's really OK! That's what modding's all about. :)
Olorin 10 Aug, 2015 @ 3:31am 
Hi Antiscamp, just wanted to know when you were gonna update this ? Because sometimes the map really feel bland.

So I did my own version (with no scheherazade that I dislike but with a real Moor leader) with several changes (more ressources, more historical cities, archons in Italy and Greece, dragon in sicily, giants in Scandinavia and much more), I wont upload it but if you are interest, I could send it to you. :)

Thank you again for the awesome map !
PaleBlueDot 6 Jul, 2015 @ 10:02am 
For me the map isn't showing up under scenarios. Is there an alternate download?
AlyraTroll 1 Jul, 2015 @ 11:02am 
Thank you for including the UK! I want to stay in the EU!!!
SkaarSmashKikou 3 Jun, 2015 @ 6:56pm 
For the Halflings, i suggest to you to place them (at least one independant town) in England (because the halflings are very similar to the Hobbits from Tolkien), or maybe in East Europe or in Spain/Portugal if you want to keep England as it was actually, anyway you decide :)
GrumpyScamp  [author] 3 May, 2015 @ 11:32am 
Yep! The Tigrans in the Middle East and the Frostlings in the North. That's what's going to happen. Once I get the time. I'm really into GTAV right now, but hopefully real soon! :)
rhettrongun 3 May, 2015 @ 7:58am 
Obviously scandanavia did not fit due to size constraints. Looks awesome! Hope to see an update with DLC factions added. I'd suggest Tigrans before Halflings. The halflings are the most boring faction IMHO.

I had fun with this map!


Thanks!
shin.satsuma 27 Mar, 2015 @ 11:34pm 
The map itself looks very nice, but in terms of playability and fun, I found it to be very boring. I started as Saladin, and it was just turns of boredom compared to say, just playing a random map. I would suggest adding more fun stuff to do and explore.
[ART] Amnesia 27 Mar, 2015 @ 2:38pm 
Hello Antiscamp,

It's a neat map, I can't say I've encountered many other factions - but I sprinkled some customisations of magic archetypes fitting existing rulers. Played as the Vikings and started somewhere I believe to be Rus. Vanquished the teutonics fairly early (they seem a slight tad bit too close IMHO) and met the Byzantines...

Finding it a lil bit harder to find mana resources (unless it was your goal to go low-fantasy) maybe there closer to mediterrenean not sure as i haven't built a harbour yet or seen the map entirely.

However I just wanted to say thank you for releasing this, this is reminiscent of Warhammer's mock Europe and I am enjoying my campaign. I hope to play an updated version and support you in future mods.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 21 Mar, 2015 @ 9:15pm 
Thank you all for your continued comments! April 14 is when the Eternal Lords expansion will be coming out with all the new, good stuff. It's not a very good day, since GTAV is also coming to PC on that day, and I've been playing GTA since the first one in -95, so I'll be checking GTA out too. However, I'll also start updating the map with the DLC stuff asap.

SkaarSmashKikou: That's a good idea. I thought about having the Frostlings in Scandinavia, but I think Russia is a better position for them, so they can really use that terrain ability they have. I have the equivalent of the Teutonic Order in Poland.
SkaarSmashKikou 21 Mar, 2015 @ 8:34pm 
The frostlings should start in Russia, as this way they will be a permanent menace for those in eastern europe. Or maybe in Poland, for game balance
The Speaker 17 Feb, 2015 @ 9:43am 
Really happy to see you'll be updating this map with the DLC races when they come out :) Looking forward to it.
Sir_Thomas 9 Feb, 2015 @ 11:55am 
This map is my first campaign in AoWIII, and I can't get enough of it. Really enjpy doing the quests and exploring the treasure sites. I don't know why more people are not downloading this map. I'm still loving it.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 9 Feb, 2015 @ 5:01am 
There's also going to be another race introduced in the new DLC, not only the frostlings! We're also getting the Tigrans. They look like Khajiit with a Middle Eastern flavour. I'm planning to make those properly inhabit the Middle East and Northern Africa.
Gwydden 8 Feb, 2015 @ 10:09am 
Looking forward to it!
GrumpyScamp  [author] 8 Feb, 2015 @ 12:42am 
Thanks, Sir_Thomas. I'm glad to hear it! I will be updating it with another faction as well as all the DLC content when the expansion DLC is released. That's going to be really fun! I'm really looking forward to the DLC; seems like it's going to be a big one. :)
Sir_Thomas 8 Feb, 2015 @ 12:11am 
I love this map. I have fought so many battles to preserve my domain. Dude.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 17 Jan, 2015 @ 10:28am 
You have some great ideas, Gwydden! I never thought of an Ancient Era map, but that's definitely a really excellent idea. I could even make a map limited to the Mediterranean area, making more room for Italy and a detailed Greece. Have some great Carthaginian vs Roman drama going on. Or why not - have a map limited to the Greek areas with the archipelago! Ah, the potential! thanks for the ideas; I will implement accordingly in the update :)
Gwydden 17 Jan, 2015 @ 9:29am 
Great map! I'm still exploring it, but I do think it could stand a little more dwellings. Maybe a good way to represent 'skraelings' if you ever do add Vinland? I could easily see archons in Greece, Egypt and/or Italy, giants in Scandinavia and fey in the British Islands. Just throwing that out there, but I think the map is excelentelly made either way!

Have you considered doing a 'Classical Era' version? As in the same geography, but based on the time of Acient Rome? I would definetely play that.
GrumpyScamp  [author] 17 Jan, 2015 @ 6:33am 
Thanks, Jester :)
Jester 17 Jan, 2015 @ 6:29am 
OUTSTANDING map...thanks
GrumpyScamp  [author] 15 Jan, 2015 @ 9:32am 
Hope you like it, daemonracer :)
daemonracer 14 Jan, 2015 @ 12:17pm 
looks like it would be fun to play
GrumpyScamp  [author] 11 Jan, 2015 @ 5:39am 
Thank you kindly, =AJSA= Sir Olorin :)
Olorin 11 Jan, 2015 @ 3:56am 
Great work, good job ! :)
GrumpyScamp  [author] 10 Jan, 2015 @ 11:38pm 
that's a very good idea, starkwolf. I was thinking about adding Vinland (America where the Vikings landed and colonized). I didn't have room for Iceland, sadly. But yeah, something out west would be cool and Atlantis sounds like a lot of fun!
Starkwolf 10 Jan, 2015 @ 9:57pm 
Atlantis would have been a nice touch, as it is fantasy after all =)
GrumpyScamp  [author] 9 Jan, 2015 @ 6:31am 
Thank you, TreeHumper. Yeah, it was just a matter of time. I was wondering why there weren't any real world maps around and decided to make one myself.

Thanks, jackson960. LOL, glad you noted some of my small details there! :D
jackson960 8 Jan, 2015 @ 10:02pm 
Very fun map thus far. Thank you for making it! I like the imagination you put in (like Stonehenge by London, Transylvania by the Byzantine, etc.)
