Pride Islands — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Pride Islands is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles for four colors, three of them open to human players, with Teal left to the computer. It is played at Normal difficulty with no fixed teams, and every color starts with a random faction. The land is mostly water and rock, with rough islands that the author describes as shaped by floods, quakes and volcanoes, and the story centers on demons and a search for the Grail. Victory comes from building a Grail structure in a player's home town, while a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds twelve towns, eight creature banks, thirty-four mines, four seer huts and six quest guards, along with an Inexhaustible Cart of Lumber and nine random artifacts. Wandering monsters include Titans, Archangels and Arch Devils.

Author's description

Welcome to the Pride Islands - a beautiful land with a history of being ripped apart by floods, earthquakes and volcanoes; threatened by demons and dragons; and the highest real-estate tax in all Erathia. The only way to stop these demons (the IRS) is to find the grail and build it in yer home town.
