Bitter Rivals. — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Bitter Rivals is a small 36 by 36 underground map for two players, both of whom can be human, with no teams. Tan plays Dungeon against Green's Rampart. The match is decided by flagging all sixteen mines on the board, and a side that loses all its towns and heroes is out. The terrain is mostly dirt and subterranean ground, with rock and some swamp. Six towns and four starting heroes set the pace, and wandering Bone Dragons, Minotaur Kings and Unicorns roam the paths. Players will also find a Seer hut, two creature banks, and a scattering of Legion artifacts, along with the Shackles of War and the Inexhaustible Carts of Ore and Lumber. The author recommends expert difficulty for solo play, though this map is set to normal.
