Island Hoppers — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Island Hoppers is a medium 72x72 map with an underground level, playable by up to four human players in a free-for-all with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player begins on a separate island with no boats, so the central challenge is finding a way across the water, which makes up about 28 percent of the terrain, while rock covers much of the rest. Factions are assigned at random to Blue, Green, Orange and Teal, and difficulty is set to Normal. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds seven towns, a Red Dragon wandering the land, 61 random monster stacks, 47 random artifacts, the Grail, 17 mines, and 38 monoliths and portals to aid travel.
