Colonizing Australia — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Colonizing Australia is a large 108 by 108 map for five players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no underground level. It is rated hard and set on a surface dominated by water, which covers about 47 percent of the land, with grass, dirt and sand making up the rest. The map retells the coastal voyages and settlement of the Australian and New Zealand region, with each player taking a different faction: Castle for Red and Green, Stronghold for Blue, Fortress for Tan and Rampart for Teal. Twelve towns and ten heroes are placed, and the map includes 36 mines, seven creature banks, two seer huts and two monoliths or portals. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
