A war with the Orcs — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A War with the Orcs is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, set on Normal difficulty. It supports eight players, with one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors, and players form three teams. Seven sides play as Stronghold and one plays as Castle. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The land is mostly rock, subterranean, rough, and snow terrain, with no water. Eighteen towns and eight starting heroes are placed across the map, and goblins and orcs roam in large numbers, alongside wolf riders, ogres, rocs, and behemoths. Notable finds include twelve named artifacts such as Angel Wings and Dragon Scale Armor, nineteen random artifacts, 28 mines, three seer huts, five creature banks, and four monoliths or portals.
