Cold War — RoE

Cold War is a two-player medium map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, rated for experts. Two human players can take part, with no teams and no computer-only colors, and each side starts with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is largely subterranean, snow, water, and rock, with water covering about an eighth of the surface. The author describes it as a second map aimed at experts, offering many strategic options. Players will find six towns, three starting heroes, and a large population of wandering monsters, including Efreet Sultans, Black Dragons, Titans, and Chaos Hydras. Dwellings, mines, seer huts, creature banks, and several artifacts and tomes are scattered across the map.
