Valleys of War — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Valleys of War is a medium-sized underground map for four players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and random factions for each color. Set on a 72 by 72 grid, it is built around a valley people who have grown restless and set out into the wider world, and the author's description frames the journey as one that prepares for hardship. Terrain is split fairly evenly among rough, grass, swamp, and water, with water making up about a sixth of the surface. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 13 towns and a single placed hero, along with wandering Gold Dragons, a Rust Dragon, and an Enchanter. Artifacts include Boots of Levitation, the Endless Sack of Gold, and the Sword of Judgement, and there are 33 mines, 16 creature banks, and four monoliths or portals.

You and your people have lived in your little valley for many years. After being here for so long, your people are getting restless. So you have decided to take an expedition out of your valley and into the world. Knowing that life isn't always fair, you prepare for the worst.
