Into the Black Heart — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Into the Black Heart is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for four players, with up to three human participants and one computer-only Purple side that starts with a Necropolis. The remaining colors begin with random factions, and there are no fixed teams. The difficulty is listed as hard. Terrain is a mix of subterranean ground, rock, grass, and about 17 percent water. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds five towns, a Grail, and a large number of wandering monsters, including Battle Dwarfs, Medusa Queens, and Magogs, along with dwellings, mines, and many artifacts scattered across the underground.
