War without Reason — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

War without Reason is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, rated hard, for up to seven players, five of whom can be human, with the Blue and Green kingdoms left to the computer. Each player starts with a different faction, from Conflux and Inferno to Fortress and Stronghold, and no teams are set. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain and water about 27 percent, so boats are absent. The map holds 19 towns and 105 random monster stacks, along with wandering Greater Basilisks, Arch Mages and Zealots. Artifacts placed on the map include Armageddon's Blade, the Cape of Velocity and the Spellbinder's Hat, and the 52 mines, 13 creature banks and 21 monoliths and portals spread the action across the land.

Author's description

Official map #2: Lord Hilltopper says that someone in one of the other kingdoms stole his royal hat. But everyone knows that is just an excuse of the madman to start a war. Well, I guess it worked. (Your world has not discovered boats yet, so you can't get boats) ~ The Blue Camel
