the belgariad — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large 144 by 144 map has underground levels and continues a fantasy saga based on The Belgariad, built around a prophecy and a long war among mortals, monarchs, and gods. It supports eight players, seven of whom can be human, with Red reserved for the computer, and there are no teams. The factions are Inferno, Tower, Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress (used twice), and Necropolis. The map is rated Impossible. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and the game is lost if 168 days pass. Rock covers 37 percent of the terrain and water 27 percent. The map holds 27 towns, nine Water Elemental stacks, placed artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and Golden Bow, 114 mines, and 23 monoliths and portals.

Author's description

This carries on the magnificent epic of The Belgariad, begun in Pawn of Prophecy and Queen of Propecy, a fantasy set against the background of a war of men, Kings, and Gods that had spanned seven thousand years-a novel of fate, strange lands, and a prophecy that must be fulfilled!
