B.T.R.III - The Black Towers — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

B.T.R.III - The Black Towers is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, made for In the Wake of Gods and rated Impossible. Seven players take part, with up to six human players and the Pink side left to the computer, arranged into three teams. The factions in play are Tower, Inferno, Dungeon, Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, and Conflux. The story centers on three Middle-earth heroes facing four foes, while a greater enemy waits in a fortress beyond them. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 39 towns, 140 mines, and 34 monoliths and portals, with wandering Black Knights, Ancient Behemoths, and Azure Dragons roaming the land.
