The Gate is a new Mac scenario for Mac Warlords II. It is my first attempt with Matt Hill's yet to be released War Cartographer program. This is the Beta version of this scenario so please don't distribute it. With the play testing that is going on through PBEM and solo, there will probably be some changes and corrections to the files and documentation

I suggest playing this with hidden map on the first time you play. It should be very challenging. Read the signs if you want some hints. And have fun!

Since this is the beta version of this scenario and army set, what I need most is feedback. Thank you!

The year is 461 AC.  The Gate has experienced almost 200 years of relative peace, after a long series of destructive and brutal wars. During this time, the peaceful citizens of Gate have rebuilt their world from a smoking heap of waste, to a thriving community of trading cities. The massive destruction and death caused by those wars so long ago, has been mostly erased by these neutral merchants. They have begun to prosper on the raw materials of the Gate, and the thriving sea trade that has renewed itself after so many years. Most of the mighty Gatekeep cities have been rebuilt on the smoking heaps of the old gatekeeps. Roads are slowly being built, and rebuilt, but much needs to be done to completely erase the damage of war.


There wont be time for that though, the ancient nations rise up again, and once again, a dragon sits atop Hero's Folly. War is coming again to the Gate.
