The Nine Lakes — WoG
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Nine Lakes is an extra-large map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, rated hard, for up to eight human players, each starting with a different faction: Castle, Fortress, Conflux, Tower, Inferno, Stronghold, Dungeon and Rampart. There are no teams. The map is built on rock and subterranean ground, with grass and water making up the rest, and it draws on the In the Wake of Gods version of the game. The author describes it as a nod to a lake-themed map from Heroes of Might and Magic II. Victory requires defeating a specific monster hidden underground, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include 31 towns, 137 mines, 27 seer huts, the Grail, and several placed artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi, along with five Ghost Dragon stacks among the wandering monsters.
