Blinded! The Knight's Tale — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large underground map, built for the Restoration of Erathia version, pits one human player against seven computer-controlled colors on a 144 by 144 grid, with two teams and Expert difficulty. The author's description, paraphrased, says a dark power has stolen the world's sight and holds a king captive. Freeing him and carrying a pendant back to the castle restores the light. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with water and grass making up most of the rest and lava a smaller share. The map contains 47 towns, 140 mines and the Grail, and Walking Dead stacks are the most common wanderers. Red starts with five factions, while every other color begins with one. Victory means transporting the specified artifact, and the game is lost if a designated hero falls.

Author's description

SATAN himself has blinded the whole world. He is holding prisoner King William, the only one who has the Pendant of Second Sight and can bring light to the land again. Set him free and get the Pendant to the castle.
