World of Darkness — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

World of Darkness is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set for two players where only one can be human, so the Purple Necropolis side is controlled by the computer. The Red Castle player faces the undead at Expert difficulty, and there are no teams. Terrain is almost evenly split between dirt and rock, with barely any water. The author describes eternal night spreading across the province as the dead rise to hunt the living, and asks whether the player can survive long enough to see the dawn. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the game is lost if a specific hero falls. The map holds 14 towns, 11 heroes, 20 mines, and a scattering of wandering monsters, including angels, wraiths, dragons, and cerberi. Several artifacts and tomes are placed across the map.
