The Ultimate Battle — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Ultimate Battle is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated hard, for eight players, all of whom can be human. Each player controls one of the eight standard towns: Tower, Necropolis, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Rampart, Inferno and Dungeon, and there are no teams. The story is that a strange god has sent beast legions across the realm and set the eight kings against one another. Victory comes from acquiring a specific artifact, the Orb of Inhibition, which is hidden somewhere on the land, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About a quarter of the terrain is water, with rock, lava and grass making up most of the rest. Wandering monsters such as skeletons, devils and black dragons roam widely, and the map holds 80 mines, 48 towns, 30 monoliths and portals, and the Grail.
