Illusion World III — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Illusion World III is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, rated hard, for five colors with up to four human players. The fifth color, Tan, is computer-only. Three teams compete. The author describes a peace that is only an illusion, with two alliances heading into a third war over control, while a third force lives in dungeon mazes. Red, Blue, Green, and Purple start with random factions, while Tan is assigned six specific ones. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map includes 18 towns, six starting heroes, four wandering Azure Dragon stacks, and 88 random artifacts, along with dwellings for creatures such as Medusas, Liches, and Vampires.
