Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Cave of the Ancestors is an underground extra large map of 144 by 144 tiles for Restoration of Erathia. Its story centers on people vanishing from Star Island. The surface islands were searched, so the missing are presumed held in the cave, and a large reward awaits whoever destroys the creatures' castle. Six players can all be human, grouped into five teams, with Red on Tower, Blue on Castle, Tan on Inferno, Green on Dungeon, Orange on Stronghold and Purple on Fortress.
