The War Of The Eight Races — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The War Of The Eight Races is a large 108 by 108 underground map for eight players, with every player on their own and no teams. Each of the eight colors starts with a different faction, from Castle and Rampart to Inferno, Necropolis, and Dungeon. Only one hero is placed at the start, so the early game depends on what each side can find. The map is set on Impossible difficulty and is roughly a third rock, with water covering about a fifth of the land. Winning requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The description points to a central island rich in treasure, and the map holds 16 towns, 70 mines, and 55 monoliths and portals. Among the placed artifacts are the Golden Bow and the Ring of Life, and 23 Water Elemental stacks roam the seas.
