Start of the Apocalypse — WoG
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Start of the Apocalypse is an extra large, expert-level underground map for up to eight players, with one human slot and seven computer-controlled colors grouped into four teams. The goal is to keep captives from escaping, and both victory and defeat hinge on a specific hero rather than standard conditions. All nine factions appear across the players. Water covers about a quarter of the 144 by 144 map, and subterranean ground takes up another 15 percent. Notable features include the Grail, 47 monoliths and portals, 48 towns, 75 mines, and artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Angelic Alliance, along with wandering Titans and Angels.
