Cave of the Ancestors — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Cave of the Ancestors is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 for six players, all of whom can be human, arranged into five teams at normal difficulty. The factions are Tower, Castle, Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold, and Fortress. The story begins with people vanishing from Star Island. Since the surface islands turned up nothing, the missing are believed to be held in the cave, and destroying the creatures' castle brings a large reward. Water covers about 39 percent of the terrain, with rock and grass making up much of the rest. Victory means capturing a specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Notable finds include the Crown of the Supreme Magi, 102 random artifacts, 17 towns, and 68 mines, with many Water Elemental stacks roaming the waters.

Author's description

People are dissapearing from Star Island. All the islands above ground have been searched, and none of the missing people could be found. This means that the missing people must be trapped in the cave of the Ancestors. There is a big reward for destroying the creatures' castle.
