Young Feren Ilun (future Sir Fonockle) and his fellow squires were reading an old book of wisdom at an old library located few miles away from the ancient river valley of Kikun Chinick. The story tells: "And the king had no choice other than do what the magi said: the land must prosper, food must be gathered for sacrifices for the gods, stone must be used for the construction of new chapels and churches. All this is needed in order to please the Sacred Wolves, who must NOT be eradicated for they are holy. The land is safe from invasions and bandits, but the holy animals might attack us and still we mustn't kill all of them..." After finishing reading the story Feren Ilun and the other squires rode back to the town and asked the bishop about the story. "Was this story true, bishop Minumus?" the boys asked. "Yes, but they were never able to sacrifice to the Wolf Gods. You see, when the wolves ate the food delivered by the magi, they were eaten, too and in the end the whole population as well."
This economics mission has plenty of rivers and waterfalls and some ruins of old castles, so if you like water maps then this map is for you!
Really nice map.It felt really like "build a great city from nothing".Really nice map design, too.Try it!

Lots of space to build. Relaxing economic mission with a lot of goals to fulfill. Just what I like.

I had a great time playing this map. A challenge with trying not to kill ALL of the animals while still attempting to set up the city. I ended up deleting all but one of the ruins, since it proved to be very dangerous to wander around. All in all, a fun map.

Lots of space to build, a lot of goals, and no bandits! Just what I like. Could've lowered the population goal, though. Lord Yoshi must've put a lot of time into this map. I look forward to more!!

Relaing map with fun goals to get - I loved the trees all over the map and the ruins (which I did destroy to use thier stone). This map really feels like a free build but it has great goals. I sailed through this map, my economy bursting thoughout the valley. The best goal is my opinion was the complete caslle won which gave some structure to my settlement. The valley is very well designed, really good rivers. The map is also creative, good idea with all the wolves on the map. There is a nice storyline accompaning this map. Overall I would recommend this map to anyone - it is great to play and on such nice map design and is very satisfying to complete. Good Work!
