War with Dread — WoG

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

War with Dread is an extra large 144 by 144 underground map for In the Wake of Gods, built for a single human player facing five computer-controlled colors on Impossible difficulty. The author's description frames it as a struggle of the living against hordes of undead, complicated by former allies, elves and alchemists, who will support neither side, and by a peasant uprising within the player's own kingdom. The map has no teams. The player's red side fields Castle, Tower, Necropolis and Conflux, while the computer colors use Castle and Necropolis, Tower, Rampart, Fortress and Conflux. Victory requires flagging all creature dwellings, and the player loses if a specific hero falls. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with rough ground, grass and a small share of water. Notable features include the Grail, 129 mines, 26 creature banks, 10 monoliths and portals, and wandering stacks of Crusaders, Vampires and Vampire Lords.

Author's description

Это война живых людей с полчищами нежити. Ваша задача осложняется тем, что ваши бывшие союзники - эльфы и алхимики не поддержат вас но и не помогут нежити. Также в вашем королевстве вспыхнуло крестьянское восстание. Некогда мощная империя угасла. Вы единственная надежда. Удачи!
