Around the Lake — RoE

Around the Lake is a medium map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, with an underground level that the author notes may offer a route beneath the surface. Four kingdoms share the land, and each player is human-controlled, with no computer-only colors and no teams. Factions are assigned at random for Red, Blue, Tan, and Green. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly grass and rock, with subterranean areas and about ten percent water forming the lake at the center. Scattered across the map are 99 random monster stacks, five towns, 26 mines, seven creature banks, and 21 randomly placed artifacts. Dwellings hold Griffins, Dwarves, Stone Gargoyles, Gogs, Beholders, Orcs, Lizardmen, and Water Elementals, and five monoliths or portals help move heroes around.
