Vanadia's Ruler — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Vanadia's Ruler is an underground map of Extra Large size, 144 by 144 tiles, for eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams. Each player starts with a different faction, from Inferno, Tower and Stronghold to Rampart, Dungeon, Castle, Necropolis and Fortress. The author describes a land ruled by monsters for nearly three centuries, and the only hope of peace is a stolen magical hat. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The difficulty is set to Impossible. The terrain is mostly grass, subterranean, dirt and lava, with about eleven percent water. The map holds 40 towns, 137 mines, 62 monoliths and portals, and strong wandering monsters such as Black Dragons and Behemoths.
