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 may be human, with no teams and no underground level. It is rated Hard. Water covers about 47 percent of the surface, with grassland making up most of the remaining land, alongside patches of dirt and sand. The factions are two Castles, a Stronghold, a Fortress and a Rampart, and the map is built around the voyages of early British settlers along the eastern coast. Ten heroes and twelve towns are placed, and the terrain holds 36 mines, seven creature banks, two seer huts and two monoliths or portals. Archers are the most common wandering stacks, and several artifacts are placed on the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero.
