Darkest Africa — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Darkest Africa is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for eight players. Up to three can be human, and the rest are computer-controlled across three teams. The factions are Castle, Stronghold, Inferno, Tower and Necropolis, with two colors drawing random factions. The goal is to stop a demon ruler before he ruins the world. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses after losing every town and hero. Rock, subterranean and water terrain cover much of the land. The 37 towns sit among wandering demon stacks, and the Grail is placed on the map along with the Sword of Judgement and the Pendant of Free Will.
