Big update: redid the south and west parts of the map, added some triggers and objectives. MP now has victory and defeat conditions depending on faction.

Thanks for the balance changes! They really make the map more playable.

Updated: Mythic Age is obtainable once more. 2 new heroes for the Trojans (Sarpedon and Aeneas). 2 new units Amazons and Lycean Warriors. Buff to Achilles' Myrmidon. MP has been further tested and deemed fit to run.

In my opinion, the game takes way too long with only Heroic, make Age 5 unobtainable to disable titans. I recommend not using default aomxai. Instead, apply one of the campaign level ai's that fit with the level's direction.

@Venlesh do you think I should allow Mythic Age ? and if so how do I go about disabling Titans ? The main reasons I removed it was for Titans, aesthetics (let's face it Heroic age looks so much better than Mythic Age for greeks), and because the AI would just make armies of Colossi and Helepolis making the game boring.

Nice map. I just played as Achileas and Odysseas

I'm partial to myth units, I prefer the whole aom experience. And to add music, just create a trigger, and use the "playnextmusictrack" effect. There is definitely ways of streamlining the scen files, but it will probably require a lot of extra trigger work and bug testing. I'm not too experienced with mp maps, but I can certainly try to help, if you want it.

Thanks a lot for your comments, review, and advice it's really appreciated ! I will try to fix the TC issue and remove the settlements. I totally agree about map size, I got a bit carried away, in the end I was just playing with editor and trying to see what I could make. Also would you prefer to play with Myth units ? I removed them so that the siege was based on heroes and soldiers, but I can just as easily add them back.

Noob questions:
how do I make triggers for music ?
Is there a way to streamline the scen files without making some factions unplayable ?

Final thoughts: (Comment p.2)
I still had a lot of fun playing this map (I played single player), and I love seeing new contenders to the AoM creator community. Do not be discouraged!! I think the biggest take-away from this map is to focus on some of the smaller things in level design, and covering all the bases before looking at its epic level multiplayer/multi faction playability. If you ever need any advice, or tips about map design, feel free to add me, and ask away! :Lucca_e:

Scenario is rough, but shows there's an inspired, and talented designer underneath

The Good:
-Lots of factions means big and bloody battles
-Use of Heroes/named units (good detail!)
-Big map with some facets to explore
-Triggers are not broken, the map works as intended
-There is definitely more than one way to achieve the map win condition during the siege, good replayability

The Bad:
-Missing basic triggers, such as music play
-The map suffers from its size, at times, as Troy is filled with pointless areas
-Lack of overall map polish makes a lot of areas not actually worth exploring (compare and contrast this with the positive point I made earlier)
-Some TC's have Settlements directly placed underneath them, which is odd, and sometimes made capturing said Settlement not possible
-There's like 20 scen files to pick, which is VERY confusing for the average person
-Myth units are missing, and military upgrades seem to research automatically, removing some level of player engagement
