Claws of the ancients — RoE

Claws of the Ancients is a medium underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, for three computer-and-human colors with up to two human players and no fixed teams. Red and Blue get random factions, while the computer-only Tan player is a Stronghold. The goal is to capture one particular town, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The story centers on a messenger traveling south from the north in search of a new castle, and the player must reach that castle first. Rock covers about half the map, with water, sand and grass making up much of the rest. Wandering monsters include several Behemoth and Ancient Behemoth stacks, along with a few Fire Elementals, and the map holds the Grail, eight Legion artifacts and 25 mines.
