Australia — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Australia is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set for eight players, five of whom can be human, with three colours left to the computer. There are no teams. The factions in play are Stronghold, Necropolis, Castle, Rampart, Fortress, two Tower players, and Dungeon. Terrain is mostly rock and water, with some subterranean ground and swamp. The author frames the story as a group of states rebelling against heavy federal taxes, and the goal is to find a particular figure and carry a specific artifact to the capital. Victory requires transporting that artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Nine towns and eight starting heroes are placed, with wandering dragons, elementals and a gorgon roaming the land, plus the Orb of Driving Rain as a placed artifact.

Author's description

Under the harsh federal taxes of John Howard, the states are finding it hard to make ends meet. The states decide to take matters into their own hand and rebel. Your job as a state Premier is to find Kim Beazley and take the Sword of Judgement to Canberra and overthrough the government!
