Malta — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Malta is an extra large 144x144 map with an underground level, rated Hard, for six players, with up to four human players and Green and Pink reserved for the computer. There are no teams. Red and Green play Castle, Blue and Tan play Tower, Orange plays Inferno, and Pink plays Dungeon. The story describes a power struggle that splits Malta among three factions, a rebellion on Gozo, and a Turkish landing at Marsaxlokk, with the Angelic Alliance as the key to reunifying the islands. Victory requires acquiring that artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water and rock cover about three-quarters of the terrain. The map holds 22 towns, 108 mines, 47 quest guards, and the Grail.

Author's description

A struggle for power in Malta has caused three factions to arise. To further complicate things, Gozo is rebelling and the Turks have landed at Marsaxlokk in southeastern Malta. The only way to unite the Maltese seems to be by acquiring the Angelic Alliance. Go out and conquer Malta, general!
