Fourplay — RoE

Fourplay is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, built for four players, each playing alone with no teams and no computer-only colors. The starting kingdoms are Castle for Red, Inferno for Blue, Tower for Tan, and Necropolis for Green, and the author frames it as a clash between light and darkness separated by a narrow sea. Victory comes from flagging every creature dwelling, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds twelve towns, four creature banks, thirty-six mines, and twenty-five randomly placed artifacts, along with wandering stacks of Cyclops, Diamond Golem, Champion, and Efreet. Rock and subterranean ground cover most of the surface, with water making up about a tenth.
