Mystisches Europa — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Mystisches Europa is an extra large, expert-level underground map for eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different faction, from Inferno and Tower to Castle and Conflux. The map is roughly 25 percent water and dominated by rock, with some snow and grass. The author's description frames it as a struggle to merge a patchwork of small and large states into a single nation, and a peaceful outcome is not expected. Victory requires flagging all mines, of which there are 135, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 45 towns and nine seer huts, along with wandering monsters, creature dwellings, artifacts such as Titan's Thunder and Armageddon's Blade, and the Grail.

Author's description

Europa war schon immer eine Ansammlung vieler kleiner aber auch großer Staaten. Neben den zwei großen Weltkriegen gab es auch eine Reihe weiterer Auseinandersetzungen. Ihr Ziel ist es nun aus diesem Staatengemisch einen Einheitsstaat zu formen. Friedlich wird dies jedoch nicht möglich sein!
