Hour of the Dragon vs. Dungeon — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hour of the Dragon vs. Dungeon is a hard, medium-sized underground map measuring 72 by 72. It supports three players, with up to two human participants, and the Green player is computer-controlled and fights as the Dungeon. Purple and Pink receive random factions, and no teams are set. Loosely inspired by a Robert E. Howard novel, the map is set in a land ruled by dragons. Players aim to free powerful heroes and take the dragon breeding grounds, and the main opponent is a tenth-level Battle Mage named Tarascus. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about 40 percent of the terrain and water about 21 percent. Notable features include the Grail, ten creature banks, and dwellings that house dragons.
