4 countries — RoE

Four Countries is a hard, medium-sized surface map of 72 by 72 tiles for four players, with one human seat and three computer colors. Each side plays a different town type: Rampart, Stronghold, Tower, or Necropolis, and no teams are set. Water covers about a third of the land, with rough ground, grass, and snow making up most of the rest. Nine towns and 36 mines sit among dwellings housing creatures such as Centaurs, Genies, and Iron Golems. Artifacts include the Crown of the Supreme Magi. Victory requires either conquering every town or carrying the Ring of the Dragon into a home town. A side is defeated once it loses all of its towns and heroes.
