Avalon - The Holy Grail — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Avalon - The Holy Grail is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for eight players, all of whom can be human. No teams are used. Red and Teal play Castle, Blue plays Tower, Tan and Green play Inferno, Orange and Purple play Rampart, and Pink plays Dungeon. The premise is that King Arthur has died and rumors claim he found the Holy Grail, which eight guards alone know how to find. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers 44 percent of the map, which also holds 30 towns, 15 Chaos Hydra stacks, and 98 monoliths and portals.
