Barbarian Invasion — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Barbarian Invasion is an extra large underground map for Restoration of Erathia, set on a 144 by 144 grid and rated Hard. Red, played by a Fortress faction, faces three computer-controlled rivals: Blue as Tower, and Tan and Green as Stronghold. Only one human player may take part, and there are no teams. The scenario opens with the odds heavily stacked against Red, since three towns are about to fall and the mines are already lost. Rock covers nearly half the map, with water at 28 percent and smaller shares of swamp and rough ground. Twelve towns, 46 mines, the Grail, and fifteen placed artifacts are scattered across it, with dragons, basilisks and golems roaming the land. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a loss comes when all towns and heroes are gone.
