Ancient Oz — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ancient Oz is an extra large 144 by 144 expert map with an underground level. It supports eight players, up to four of them human, while the orange, purple, teal and pink colors are computer controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Necropolis, Blue Castle, Tan Stronghold, Green Fortress, Orange Tower, Purple Rampart, Teal Dungeon and Pink Inferno. Rock covers about 36 percent of the terrain and water about 29 percent. The premise has you lead one of four mainland races against rivals on the island and invaders from other islands. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 24 towns and 104 mines, a wandering Cerberus, and placed artifacts such as the Orb of Silt.
