Waiting Game — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Waiting Game is a medium 72x72 underground-level map for eight players, with a hard difficulty setting, one possible human player, and four teams. Seven colors are computer-controlled, and the factions include Inferno, Tower, Necropolis, Dungeon, Rampart, Fortress, Stronghold, and Castle. Half the map lies underground, with water covering about 14 percent and swamp about 7 percent. The map holds 13 towns, 80 mines, and several seer huts, creature banks, monoliths, and timed events. Wandering monsters include Master Genies, Pit Lords, and Naga Queens, and artifacts such as the Dragon Scale Shield and Cape of Velocity are scattered about. Victory requires a team to capture a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
