BattleCross — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

BattleCross is a medium 72 by 72 map for two players, with two human seats and no computer-only colors, and it includes an underground level. Both players start with random factions, and there are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author describes closed-in areas, garrisons holding angels, zealots, crusaders and champions, and an underground maze with many traps. The map holds five towns, a few dragons and two Ancient Behemoth stacks roaming the surface, along with 69 random monster stacks. Notable finds include a set of four Tomes of Magic and several rare artifacts such as Angel Wings and the Orb of Inhibition, spread among 23 mines, 13 seer huts, 10 creature banks and four monoliths or portals.
