Dwarven Tunnels — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dwarven Tunnels is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different town type: Castle for Red, Tower for Blue, Rampart for Green, and Stronghold for Orange. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The setting is a network of old dwarven tunnels now overrun by many kinds of creatures. Steep mountains and dense forests separate the starting positions, so the underground passages are presented as the route for pushing toward the rivals. The map holds 15 towns, 46 mines, and 10 creature banks, along with 18 randomly placed artifacts and 3 monoliths or portals. Roaming Water and Fire Elemental stacks add early threats.

Author's description

Ancient tunnels dug by the dwarves have long since been infested by creatures of all sorts. Steep mountains and thick forests block the path to your enemies, but these old tunnels may prove very useful in conquering the world.
