Dragon Pass II — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragon Pass II is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for four players, each playing alone with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes a peace among dragons that breaks when some of them side with the players against their former leaders, and the player must raise an army before the enemy does. Red plays Castle, Blue plays Conflux, Tan plays Stronghold, and Green plays Rampart. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with some subterranean and rough ground. Wandering monsters include several Azure Dragon stacks and Mighty Gorgons, and the map holds 20 towns, 49 mines, and 16 monoliths and portals. Placed artifacts include the Crown of Dragontooth and several dragon-themed armor pieces.

The Dragons have kept peace for millennia. However, a couple of Dragons decided to join you and your enemies to wage war against their former leaders. The pass won't hold for much longer now. You must gather an army quick, before your old opponents do so. A new war have just begun.
