The Four Corners — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Four Corners is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for four players, with no teams and no computer-only colors, so all four seats can be human. Each corner belongs to a different faction: Necropolis for Red, Tower for Blue, Rampart for Tan, and Stronghold for Green. Its listed difficulty is hard. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map is largely subterranean and rocky, with water covering about 15 percent of its surface. Among the placed artifacts are the Breastplate of Brimstone, the Pendant of Holiness, and the Sea Captain's Hat, and the Grail is also on the map. Wandering Diamond Golems, Harpies and Ogre Mages are scattered across the terrain, and the island in the middle holds the dragons that the description mentions.

Author's description

The Kindoms in each corner finally decided to break the long reign of the Devils. Word around is, that an island in the middle contains several black dragons for help. Beat the dragons, and you shall be far ahead of your competitors, in destroying the Inferno castle in the Underworld...
