Hello, I've come to you all in a time of great need. As of late, I've been having this very old custom map from my childhood livinig rent free on my head and I need to find it. The map it self was a heavely altered melee, to the point of almost being a different gamemode altogether. As far as I can remember, you could only play as human but the race was modified beyond recognition. You'd start on a boat entering from the left side of the map with some workers inside and you had to go to shore and start building. The workers themselves were divided in diferent classes, like civil, military, naval, magical, each with their own buildings. The amount of troops was also massive, different melee units, short and long distance, magical, some vehicles, mainly transport on ground, but also planes, and a like 6 different types of warships. There weren't mines to extract gold, instead you had to buy houses that gave you tax money and increased you unit capacity, which was far bigger than vanilla melee (300, I think). I think there were also creeps camps and bosses around the map, though I'm not sure about that.

The description sounds a lot like castle builder on steroids (which it is), but it's not castle builder.

This is my rendition of the overall layout of the map in paint by memory:

If anyone has even the stlightest clue, I beg of you, tell me. I can't accept this map has become lost media.
