Hydrox — WoG

Hydrox is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, played by eight kingdoms that each start at roughly equal distances from every rival. The author describes a central fortress called Overlair as a possible key to victory, along with aid from three-headed beasts that lurk in the swamps. Rock, dirt, grass and water make up the terrain, with water covering about a sixth of the surface. The map supports eight players, all of whom may be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Every player begins with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated once they lose all towns and heroes. Notable features include ten towns, two starting heroes, several vampire and wyvern stacks, a number of artifacts such as the Cape of Velocity and the Crown of the Supreme Magi, and many mines and creature banks.
