Challenge of the Gods — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Challenge of the Gods is an extra large underground map for eight players, all of them human-controllable with no computer-only colors and no teams. Each player leads a different faction: Castle, Tower, Dungeon, Rampart, Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold, and Necropolis. The map is rated hard and is built around a comparison of the factions, with terrain made up mostly of rock, subterranean ground, water, and grass. Sixteen towns and eighteen heroes are placed across the land, alongside 94 mines, six creature banks, and five monoliths and portals. Notable finds include Angel Wings, Boots of Speed, and an Endless Sack of Gold, while wandering elementals and dragons roam the lands. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.
