Ancient City — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This hard scenario for three players takes place on a medium 72 by 72 underground map. It follows inhabitants who set out to find a legendary ancient city after a sudden global freeze. All three players can be human, each starts with a random faction, and no teams are set. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Snow covers about 36 percent of the land, with rock, water and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The map holds 11 towns, 34 mines and 10 monoliths and portals. Wandering stacks include iron golems, zealots and liches. Placed artifacts include Angel Feather Arrows, the Clover of Fortune and Dragon Scale Armor.
