Almoravid Kingdom — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Almoravid Kingdom is an extra large underground map for Restoration of Erathia, set on a 144 by 144 field of mostly rock and sand, rated Normal. You play Abu Bakr, ruler of a tenth-century kingdom in present-day Mauritania, with a weak ally to the north and a legendary trading partner to the east who refuses to fight. Five players start: one human slot and four computer-only colors, grouped into four teams. The factions include Castle, Dungeon, Stronghold, Rampart, Fortress, Inferno, and Necropolis. You win by transporting a specific artifact, and you lose if a specific hero is killed. The map holds 24 towns, 139 mines, 35 creature banks, and the Grail.
