Chain Lightning — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Chain Lightning is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, set at expert difficulty for one human player against one computer opponent in the Blue colors, with no teams. Red plays as Castle and Blue as Inferno. The story follows a powerful sorcerer, Keiser, who threatens a quiet village, so the player must gather allies, collect specific items, and finish a series of side quests. Rock covers 48 percent of the land and water 38 percent. The map holds four towns, seven heroes, eight mines, six creature banks, and eight monoliths and portals, plus eight named artifacts and ten random ones. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and defeat comes from losing all towns and heroes.
