A war with the Orcs — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A War with the Orcs is a large underground map on a 108 by 108 grid, made for Restoration of Erathia and set to Normal difficulty. Eight players take part, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. They form three teams. Seven players start with Strongholds and the Purple player with a Castle. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, subterranean ground, rough terrain and snow, with no water. Across 18 towns and eight starting heroes, wandering goblins, orcs, ogres and rocs roam the map, alongside 28 mines, four monoliths and portals, and named artifacts such as Dragon Scale Armor and Angel Wings.
