Map: Ice Protected Secret Vally - Mark I

Here is another "Very Long Play" map.

There are ten accessible islands on this map. Gold is VERY limited on the largest island. Each of the four areas has one single mine near the Port site that is closest to the Headquarters. If you are playing one of the sites on the largest island, do not start working with your soldiers until you have built one ship and located gold on one of the small islands.

Number one player (Blue Flag) is initially set to a smaller island where there is ample Gold. If you are a beginner or just "Need to Win", play this site. If you are an experienced player, change your Headquarters to one of the other players and perhaps turn off the Blue Flag player completely. If you want a "More Challenging" game, switch your Headquarters to one of the sites on the large island and leave the Blue Flag player as AI.

Note!! for those who decide to play the Blue Flag - There aren't any Stone mines on this island so if you choose to have Atlantians under this flag, they will NOT be able to leave the island. This was NOT a planned problem but I will not be changing the Mark I map. I will be providing a Mark II map some time in the future and that will have Stone mines on the Blue Flag area. Mark II will be for Widelands Version 1.21.

As usual, this map has my "Signature Landing Ports", one for each of the four areas on the largest Island. These port sites allow the landing party to build Army buildings in safety protected by rocks that can not be removed by a quarry on the mainland. If you are playing a "Single User" game, build a ship as quickly as you can and build ports on these four sites to stop any AI tribe from blocking your access later.
