Citadels — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Citadels is a medium-sized underground map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, built for four players who may all be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side starts with a random faction, and the victory goal is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The author's description frames the setting as four governors who held well-protected strongholds that could never be taken by assault, and now those strongholds are at war with one another. Terrain is mostly rock and swamp, with water covering a small share. The map holds eight towns and four heroes, plus wandering monsters, a number of mines, creature banks, and monoliths and portals. Dwellings house angels, dragons, giants, devils, and behemoths, and several notable artifacts are placed around the map.

Author's description

During many centuries these grounds were under a joint management of four governors, which ruled from the well protected citadels. They were unapproachable - anybody never could take them by attack. But now citadels are in a condition of war. Who can win, if the forces are equal?
