Every fifty years the Ley Lines align causing a great increase in mana throughout the lands of Androna. This event is known as the Mana Apex. It either brings times of legendary magical feats and prosperity, or dark times of war and destruction. The last Apex was a dark time. War covered the lands, and godlike heroes fought for their faction's supremacy. The war was won by the Haven King Baroc and his loyal heroes, using the powers of heaven itself to control all of Androna. After his death, his heir was deemed unworthy of the crown, and the Angels left Androna. Now the Mana Apex is upon the lands again, and you are not the only one seeking power. It is time for your heroes to move out and conquer all that opposes you!
Author: Karl Drive, 11-08-2024 10:34 Like No memory mentor - Battle for Androna I kind of like the map because it is well designed for each faction. The early game is very challenging at Heroic, but the end game is tedious since AI is weak and all the garrisons are trivial once you break out and start to go after other AIs. Since there is no memory mentor, if your hero has a bad skill, it makes the end game less fun.
I still occasionally play the map a few times for the view of each faction. Only finished the map once or twice, though.
Author: tasos, 12-06-2020 10:18 No memory mentor - Battle for Androna Map has obvious errors in terrain, very weak stacks, garrisons are very poorly defended.
Also, without a memory mentor, all maps (not only this one) does not allow a random-free hero development.
Author: David (Santa Maria, US), 10-10-2019 07:25 Personal Favorite - Battle for Androna I have played multiple times, and it is always a delight. You should definitely have this in your archive.
Author: JN (USA), 26-01-2013 07:06 Battle of Wills Good map so far, but no dragon veins for mana, stables are too few and far between, and there are no forts, so you can't telaport anywhere. It takes almost 1 week to walk from your castle back out to the main area. There are no paths, so everything is rough terrain, so movement is very very limited.
Those small details made this map very tedious to play after a short while.
Hope this feedback helps you on your next map :)
Author: Magdalena (United Kingdom), 16-07-2012 18:35 Battle for Androna nice and fun scenario - lots of space to explore. But could be done better - little mistakes, like blocked mills etc.
Author: Константин, 17-06-2012 13:53 Ни о чем... Отстойная карта...
Author: Fulano (US), 13-01-2010 04:18 Well Done Map has tons on it, lots going on, lots of puzzles for the player to figure out. I like playing it.
Author: felix (Moscow, Russia), 08-11-2008 22:13 Good Good
Author: mane, 27-10-2008 02:56 a little overdone, actually Hey, I'm all for excess, but in this case I'll make an exception. Endgame is rather tedious, with all the castles and a weak AI. Too easy on normal, too hard on difficult, I believe. Sometimes less IS more.
Author: Ss (Ukraine), 22-10-2008 10:21 Good This is one of the best maps i had played, hard for me becouse with strong AI. I have an observation: some objects are not accessible for the visit.

Author: Dave (USA), 07-12-2006 23:02 Good Map I'm gonna go ahead and give this a 10 for sheer replayability. All the factions are well placed and this can be a pretty difficult map, good effort.
