Alea Jacta Est — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Alea Jacta Est is an extra large underground map for In the Wake of Gods, set on a 144 by 144 grid and rated Impossible. Six players share it, with two seats for human players and four controlled by the computer. The two human-accessible sides, Red and Blue, both play Fortress and are on the same team, while the computer players field Rampart alongside Stronghold, Dungeon, or Inferno. The description frames the story as a fight for survival with no way to flee. Water covers about a quarter of the map, with lava, grass, and rough ground making up most of the rest. Each side has heroes and towns to protect, and wandering Gold Golems, Crystal Dragons, and Phoenixes roam the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
