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. Eight players share three teams, and up to three can be human while the other five colors are computer controlled. Castle, Stronghold, Inferno, Tower and Necropolis appear, with two colors drawing random factions. The goal is to stop a demon ruler before he devastates the world. Victory means capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 37 towns, 141 mines and 25 creature banks, and includes the Grail and several Legion artifacts. Rock and subterranean ground are the main terrains.
