Gate to Purgatory — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gate to Purgatory is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, played on a difficulty rated Hard and set in the Restoration of Erathia version. The story, as the author tells it, centers on the kingdom's most celebrated treasure, the Sword of Judgement, which has been taken by Diablo. The player must travel into the underworld, recover the sword, and carry it back to Avalon. Seven players take part, with one human seat and six computer-controlled colors: Red (Rampart), Blue (Inferno), Tan (Tower), Green (Stronghold), Orange (Castle), Purple (Fortress), and Teal (Dungeon). There are no teams. Victory requires transporting the specific artifact, and the player loses if a particular town is lost. Terrain is mostly rock, grass, water, and some lava. The map is scattered with wandering undead, dwellings, mines, and a large number of artifacts.
