Beachhead — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Beachhead is a two-player medium map of 72 by 72 tiles, played on an underground level and rated hard. The author's note frames it as a naval-and-shore assault, and the land is mostly rock and grass with about a sixth of the surface given to water. Red commands a Dungeon and Blue a Tower, with no teams and no computer-only colors, so both seats are human. Victory requires eliminating every enemy, while a player falls once all their towns and heroes are gone. Wandering monsters include many Master Gremlins and Infernal Troglodytes, and dwellings hold Genies, Nagas, Giants, Beholders, Medusas, Manticores and Red Dragons. Eleven named artifacts are placed on the map, alongside thirteen mines and three creature banks.
