Luck of the Irish — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Luck of the Irish is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, built for up to eight players, with seven human seats and one computer-only color. Its difficulty is set to hard, and there are no teams, so every player fights for themselves. Each color starts with a different town type, covering Fortress, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Castle, Dungeon, Inferno and Necropolis. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Rock covers about a third of the land, with water making up roughly a sixth. The map holds 35 towns, 18 heroes, and a Grail, along with a few placed artifacts such as the Lion's Shield of Courage, the Orb of Inhibition and the Torso of Legion. Wandering stacks include Power Liches, Thunderbirds and a Bone Dragon, and the map also has 142 mines and 31 creature banks.
