Absorbing War — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Absorbing War is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, built for five players, up to four of them human, with Orange reserved for the computer. Four lords, leading Tower, Castle, Rampart, and Dungeon, plus an Inferno player, fight one another over a peace whose cost is questionable. Teams are not used, and the difficulty is Expert. Terrain is mostly dirt, grass, rock, and lava, with almost no water. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses upon losing every town and hero. Notable features include the Grail, 39 random artifacts, 61 mines, 11 creature banks, two monoliths with portals, and 13 wandering Archangel stacks. The map is version 1.1 and runs on Restoration of Erathia.
