Elune's Grove is a major trading point for many merchants because of it's high gold concentration.Recent Monster attacks have drove many merchants into hiding, causing the income of supplies to be lowered.Take back this land, and clear away any future threats to your empire's massive wealth.
This map has a small twist to it. Neutral buildings on this map cannot be used unless captured. They can be captured by ordering your troops to attack it. While the buildings can be captured by any unit, it is recommended to use a hero since Captureable buildings take more damage from heroes.
FEATURES-
8 Player Slots
8 Small Expansion Mines
6 Large Frontier Mines
15 Neutral Sites
Also, One of the unique neutral sites in this map are Trading Outpost(if I remember correctly)
Trading Outpost can be captured to trade gold for lumber(or vice versa) or to hire some simple mercenaries. They can be upgraded into Merchant Camp to allow a better exchange of resources or into a Mercenary Camp to allow you to hire better mercenaries. The downside is that if you choose to change it into a Merchant Camp, you lose the ability to hire mercenaries, and if you change it into a Mercenary Camp, you lose the ability to trade resources.
There is also a very useful neutral building in the middle of the map, it will provide a great bonus when captured but is very hard to take.
This map is also works well with the default Warcraft A.I. Computer players will also seek out neutral sites and capture them. They will also use them if captured.
So in the end, Have Fun !
