Gates of Wonder — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Gates of Wonder is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 on a hard setting. Four colors take part, but only one can be human, and Tan, Purple and Teal are computer-only. There are no teams. Blue and Tan play Necropolis, Purple plays Rampart, and Teal plays Tower. The story follows a would-be conqueror who keeps pursuing a wealthy kingdom even after being killed, having made a pact with soul-eaters. Rock covers about 45 percent of the terrain and water about 15 percent. The map holds 22 towns, 39 mines and the Grail, and 254 stacks of Ghost Dragons roam the land. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses after losing every town and hero.
