Zyconia — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Zyconia is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for up to eight players, with three human seats and five computer-only colors. Two teams face each other on an Impossible setting, and the factions include Tower, Castle, Rampart, Necropolis, Inferno, and Dungeon, with Pink fielding both Necropolis and Dungeon. Terrain is mostly snow and lava, with rock and grass making up the rest and very little water. The story concerns a land freezing over after its sun is destroyed. Victory requires building a Grail structure, while a player loses by losing a specific town. The map holds twelve towns, a Grail, nine heroes, Arch Devil and Black Dragon wanderers, and placed artifacts such as the Ambassador's Sash and Bird of Perception.

Author's description

The once beautiful Zyconia is turning into ice. The Sun was destroyed by the devils from a neighboring solar system whom are now living in the underworld. Even the many resources and artifacts probably won't help you rescue the beautiful land from the evil "Karn", unless you find the grail . . . .
