Before There Was Time — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Before There Was Time is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, played by eight players, each of whom can be human, with no teams. The eight players start with Castle, Inferno, Stronghold, Rampart, Fortress, Necropolis, Tower and Dungeon respectively. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Water, rock and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain, with grass covering a small share. The map holds 34 towns and 129 mines, along with wandering monsters such as Skeletons, Gold Dragons, Magogs and Black Dragons. Scattered across it are artifacts such as Boots of Speed and Dragon Scale Armor, 13 seer huts, 39 creature banks and 28 monoliths and portals. The difficulty is set to Normal.
