Castles and Dreams — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Castles and Dreams is an extra large underground map for Restoration of Erathia at Normal difficulty, measuring 144 by 144 tiles. Eight players each control a different stronghold, castle, necropolis, rampart, tower, inferno, fortress, or dungeon, and all eight slots can be filled by humans, with no teams. The landscape is mostly rock and water, with water covering about a quarter of the map and spread across five continents and four isles. Players win by defeating every enemy and lose when they have neither towns nor heroes left. Notable features include 25 towns, 102 mines, seven creature banks, six monoliths and portals, placed artifacts, and six stacks of Battle Dwarves among the wandering monsters.

Author's description

A land of five continents and four isles. Though you have to defeat your rivals, maybe that's a good idea to seize isles and invade to the central continent because of their reaches. From the other hand, blitzkreig operation may work better... [named after Ritchie Blackmore] deniska_rules@mail.ru
