Land of falling Stars 8 Player-Version

Description
This map is pretty similar to the original Land of falling stars but with 4 additional Lords. Have fun!

Edit: There is still a bug, that dont allow AI civilians to find their ways, when playing with 7 AI lords at the same time. Maybe there is too much stuff going on... They still grow and build armys, but it looks not that good. With less Lords it is working fine (tested for 3 Ai Lords). You should probably search for your devices limit by testing.

"Welcome to the land of falling stars, my Lord."

"Since the age of the last emperor, this land was cursed by the heaven. Gigantic boulders from the sky shattered mountains and roads. All people left the two settlements a while ago, because of the threat. There was no hope for this land under your fathers control. But finally, you arrived, young Lord."

Eventually, one young lord [You] found out, that the meteorites contain a lot of rare materials. These were perfect for the young lords new invention. Firearms for footsoldiers.
The plan to obtain all the goods is in danger. Spys infiltrated the land of the young lord and told outside lords to attack. While you were busy collecting the fallen stars, lords from the mountains and the sea came to intervene. Drive them away with the help of your warlords and superior warfare strategy.

Good luck and may the stars be with you. Perhaps falling on your enemys is better...


This is an 8 player map for 2 or 4 teams with 2 to 4 player. Everyone has the same amount of goods and a huge buildingplace for their castle available.
The warlords are in the back of the players, so the players are spread like in a large map, with some more mobility to flank enemy castles. This opens more strategies for offensive and defensive playstyles around besieging.

I really dislike the idea to just make one wall or two and call it a castle with just one tower with bowmen at the corner of the map. So this map forces the players to build an actual castle with walls in every direktion. Additional attackpower comes from the warlords close by every player. Tiger and Dragon for each player make coordinated attacks dangerous. But be aware of enemy spys who take control of your warlords and attack your back!!! Or maybe your diplomates make the warlords aware of the rightfull owner of this land and help you backstab your enemys.

Have fun and tell me if something is off in this map.

PS: It isn't a 700t heavy trebuchet that throws 4t boulders from outside the map ;)

PPS: Or is it?

I used the meteorite idea on SHC2 maps and they looked really beautiful. Try adding some wild life or villages around the fallen space rocks and add some dark colours around it for extra aesthetics.
