Merchants Guild — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Merchants Guild is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set on Normal difficulty. According to the author's description, a guild pigeon is injured while carrying heavy artifacts, so the guild leader Sir Sombreus must make the delivery on schedule. Eight players can take part, with at most one human and seven computer-controlled colors, and there are no teams. The factions include Castle (two players), Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon, Inferno, and Necropolis. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses if a specific hero is lost. Rock covers most of the terrain, with water, snow, and subterranean ground making up the rest. Notable features include the Grail, behemoth and golem stacks, and placed artifacts such as Dragon Scale Armor, plus 30 monoliths and portals and 16 timed events.
