Four schools of magic — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large underground map, measuring 144 by 144, is set at Normal difficulty for up to four human players. Five colours take part, with Purple controlled by the computer alone, and there are no teams. The leaders of the four schools of magic fled to neighbouring lands after the evil Morgand took power, and their factions are now at war with one another. Players command Tower, Fortress, Rampart, Stronghold, Inferno and Castle towns. The map holds 15 towns, six heroes and the Grail. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with water, lava and swamp making up much of the rest. Notable finds include the Sword of Hellfire and the Pendant of Holiness, along with wandering elementals and a Black Knight. Victory means defeating all enemies, while losing every town and hero ends the game.

Author's description

When the evil Morgand rose to power at Merillia, the heads of the four schools of magic had to seek refuge in the neighbouring countries. Since then much has happened, and the different magic alignments are now at war with each other. Reunite them and slay Morgand.
