War of the Magi — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

War of the Magi is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, played at Expert difficulty for six players, with only one human player allowed and five computer-controlled colors. Two teams divide the field, and the factions in play are Inferno, Necropolis, Stronghold, Fortress, Tower, and Dungeon, one per color. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the human player loses if a specific hero falls. Rock, swamp, subterranean, and rough terrain make up most of the land, with about 11 percent water. The map holds 23 towns and 12 heroes, along with 52 mines, 7 creature banks, and the Grail. Wandering monsters include numerous Mighty Gorgons and a few Titans and Chaos Hydras, and the placed artifacts include the Dragon Scale Armor and the Golden Bow. The map is set in the Restoration of Erathia version.
