il - football field — RoE

Football Field is a small 36x36 map for four players, with no underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. Each of the four players, shown as Red, Blue, Orange and Teal, starts with a random faction, and no teams are set, so every player is on their own. Up to four humans can join, and no computer-only colors are placed. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The land is mostly grass with some sand, and there is no water. The map holds four towns, seven mines, around 75 wandering monster stacks and 21 randomly placed artifacts, plus one timed event. The author describes the striped, lighted look of a prepared field and compares a hero's fate to a day-to-day life that could change at any moment.
