Castle of Midnight — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Castle of Midnight is a large 108 by 108 underground map for two players, rated Expert, with at most one human player. The human takes Red, a Tower faction, against the computer-controlled Tan, a Necropolis faction, and there are no teams. The story centers on a lord who sets out against a northern rival who is seizing lands and corrupting them. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while losing all towns and heroes ends the game. Rock and rough ground dominate the terrain, with about 8 percent water. Ten towns, three heroes, the Grail, and the Crown of Dragontooth add to the play, along with 58 mines and 115 random monster stacks.
