Deception Pass — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Deception Pass is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated hard and designed for the In the Wake of Gods version. The author's note describes a player who has solved Ankhana's riddles and is then thrown into a harsh, unfamiliar land, searching for a way home through a mysterious pass. Eight players share the map, with one human player at most, in the Red color, and seven computer-only colors, with no teams. Red can choose from five factions, while each computer player has one. Victory means capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 27 percent of the terrain. Notable placed artifacts include the Crown of the Five Seas and the Shield of Naval Glory, and wandering Fangarm and Master Genie stacks roam the land.

Author's description

You have answered the riddles to unlocking the secrets of Ankhana. But the town had magical properties beyond your reason. Ankhana has thrust you into an unknown land that has little mercy. Hopefully there's a way home. Something about a Pass. But what's that all about?
