Averness — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Averness is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, rated hard, set in the Restoration of Erathia version. It supports seven players, with up to three controlled by humans and four by the computer, grouped into three teams. The factions cover Castle, Tower, Dungeon with Stronghold, Rampart, Inferno, Fortress and Necropolis. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, while a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The landscape is mostly rock, with grass, dirt and rough ground, and a little water. Players will find sixteen towns, four starting heroes, many guarded wandering monsters such as Minotaurs and Gold Golems, and fifteen named artifacts. The Grail itself is placed on the map.
