Le Maître de Vanadia — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Le Maître de Vanadia is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams. Each player starts with a different faction: Inferno, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon, Castle, Necropolis, or Fortress. The story describes monsters and magical beasts holding Vanadia for over 300 years, and only a stolen artifact, the Magic Hat of Unity, can restore order. Victory requires acquiring that artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The Expert map holds 40 towns and 16 heroes, along with 544 random monster stacks, 137 mines, and 62 monoliths and portals. Grass, subterranean, dirt, and lava cover most of the land, and water makes up 11 percent.

Author's description

Les monstres et bêtes magiques ont été les maîtres de Vanadia pendant plus de 300 ans. Une seule chose peut ramener l'ordre et la paix: Le Chapeau Magique d'Unité. Mais celui-ci a été volé il y a trois siècles par un humain intrépide qui vendit son âme aux Côtés Obscures...
