Contention of the Natatorium — RoE

Contention of the Natatorium is a large underground-capable map of 108 by 108 tiles for five players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes isles split apart by floodwaters, where five kingdoms contest the right to rule. Terrain is mostly rock and grass, with about 17 percent water and 10 percent subterranean ground. Red plays Inferno, Blue plays Castle, Tan plays Stronghold, and Green and Orange are random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds six towns, one placed hero, and several notable spots: a Gold Golem, a Thunderbird, and a Cyclops among the wandering monsters, seven named tomes and pendants, a Sword of Hellfire, and 21 random artifacts.
