Island Hopping — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Island Hopping is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, set across a sea where the Grail is hidden. Eight players each take one town type, from Tower to Dungeon, with no teams and no computer-only colors, so all eight seats can be human. Water covers about 35 percent of the map, and rock makes up most of the rest, with a small share of subterranean ground. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, which here is the Grail, and a player is defeated once all their towns and heroes are lost. Along the way, players will meet wandering dragons, liches, vampire lords and water elementals, and find mines, seer huts, creature banks, monoliths and portals. Many of the artifacts are scattered about, including a set of Legion pieces and the Necklace of Ocean Guidance.
