Battle Poker — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battle Poker is a card-game themed map on an extra large 144 by 144 surface, played at normal difficulty with no underground level. Five players take part, but only four can be human, and the Red player is controlled by the computer alone. There are no teams. Red plays Inferno, Blue plays Tower, Tan plays Castle, Green plays Rampart, and Purple plays Dungeon. Rough ground and lava cover most of the terrain, with dirt and swamp making up the rest. The five towns represent the card suits, and creatures stand in for the cards. Seven timed events add pressure along the way, and heroes are capped at level one. Victory goes to the player who accumulates a large amount of gold. A player loses by losing all of their towns and heroes.
