Island Hoppers — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Island Hoppers is a medium 72x72 map with an underground level, set for four players at Normal difficulty, with every seat open to a human player. The players are split into two teams and receive random factions. Each side starts on its own island with no boats, so the central challenge is finding a way to cross the water to reach the others. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Roughly 28 percent of the map is water, with rock covering most of the rest. The map holds seven towns, seventeen mines, and a Grail, along with 47 random artifacts, 61 random monster stacks, and a single wandering Red Dragon. Teleporting monoliths and portals, numbering 38, help players move between islands.
