Might and Magic 8 — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large 144 by 144 map includes an underground level and is rated Impossible. Its story follows a caravan escort: a hero hired by a merchant guild to protect a lizardman's caravan on the way to the Bloody Dagger islands, where the trip becomes tied to events meant to stop an approaching Armageddon. Four players are placed, but only one can be human, and Tan, Purple, and Pink are computer-only. No teams are used. Red plays Castle, Tan has Castle and Stronghold, and Purple and Pink play Castle. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 39 percent of the map and water about 22 percent. Notable features include 40 seer huts, 33 monoliths and portals, 32 quest guards, 17 timed events, and artifacts such as the Golden Bow and the Crown of Dragontooth.
