4 corners — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

4 Corners is a medium underground map for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and random factions. Played at Normal difficulty on a 72 by 72 grid, it is won by defeating every enemy and lost by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about half the land, with water near 29 percent and grass about 13 percent. Inspired by a classic hot seat map, it starts each side on a small island and pushes players toward the mainland for resources. The eight towns share 30 mines, three creature banks, and two monoliths or portals, along with a placed Shackles of War and 16 random artifacts. Wandering monsters include a Hydra, a Roc, and a Master Genie.
