Castles & Dreams (4 players) — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Castles & Dreams is an extra large 144 by 144 map for four players, with one underground level and no teams. Tan plays Inferno and Necropolis, Green plays Castle and Rampart, Orange plays Tower and Fortress, and Pink plays Dungeon and Stronghold. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, and water makes up about a quarter. The author imagines five continents and four islands, where seizing the isles can open a route to the central land, though a rapid strike may work better. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 25 towns, 102 mines, 7 creature banks, and 6 monoliths and portals.

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] http://magnum.jump.ru
