Ultimate Satire — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ultimate Satire is a large underground-enabled map for four players, each playing one faction: Castle, Tower, Stronghold and Rampart, with no teams and all four seats filled by humans. Its 108 by 108 layout is mostly rock and water, with some subterranean and sand ground. The author's description says the map pokes fun at aspects of modern life, particularly dull artists and overly complicated people, and presents this as light comedy aimed at no one in particular. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map is rated Hard and features ten towns, five starting heroes, and 33 mines. Wandering monsters include many Phoenix and Firebird stacks, along with a few Titans, Archangels and Gold Dragons. Fifteen random artifacts and four seer huts are scattered across the board.

Author's description

This map makes fun of lots of stuff from modern day life. Specially, boring artists or complexed people. Just for the sake of it, I'll start by saying that this is not a personal offense to anyone or any race. For everyone's best enjoyement of this map, this is PG-16.
