StarLine — WoG

StarLine is an extra large map of 144 by 144 tiles on the surface only, built for eight players who each control their own faction, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Water covers about a third of the land, with snow, grass and dirt making up most of the rest. The author's note frames the start as poor in resources, so the central lands become the first priority, and the message is that latecomers will find little left. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Across the map sit 25 towns, 60 mines, 40 random artifacts, and 18 monoliths and portals, along with two creature banks and a large number of wandering monsters, including dragons, Arch Devils and Naga Queens. The difficulty is set to hard.
