Ad Hominem — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Ad Hominem is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated for expert play and set in the Restoration of Erathia setting. Eight colors are present, with seven open to human players and Pink reserved for the computer. Each color is a separate side with no teams, and the factions are Dungeon, Rampart, Necropolis, Inferno, Stronghold, Tower, and Fortress, while Pink's faction is random. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Roughly a third of the surface is water, and the map is dotted with 38 towns, 121 mines, 37 monoliths and portals, and a Grail. Wandering monsters include many Air and Water Elemental stacks, and the artifacts scattered across it include Angel Wings and the Cape of Velocity.
