Island Safari — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Island Safari is a large underground-enabled map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, built for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player begins with a random faction, and the terrain is mostly rock and grass, with about a fifth of the surface given over to water and a smaller share of subterranean ground. The map is set to normal difficulty. Its author describes a world rich in resources, where the path to becoming a great hero depends on discovering what to do. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, four starting heroes, 34 random monster stacks, a Thunderbird wandering stack, 33 mines, one creature bank, and 14 random artifacts. An Endless Sack of Gold is also placed on the map.
