Border Defense — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Border Defense is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for three players, with a maximum of three human participants and no computer-only colors. Two teams face off: Red, who plays Castle and Tower, and Blue, who plays Necropolis, against Tan, who plays Inferno. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero has been removed. The terrain is mostly rock, with grass and rough ground covering much of the rest and water making up a small share. Seven towns and two starting heroes are placed on the map, along with five water elemental stacks, dozens of random monster groups, and the Grail. Visitors can find Legion armor pieces, several named artifacts, and fifteen monoliths and portals among the 41 mines and five creature banks.
