Criss Cross(Allies) — RoE

Criss Cross is a medium, 72 by 72 map that spans both the surface and an underground level, set for four players with two teams and a hard difficulty. Each of the four kingdoms, assigned random factions, begins boxed into its own corner and wants to push outward into the wider land. Hydras and behemoths stand watch along the borders and make the crossing dangerous. Roughly 14 percent of the map is water, with dirt, rock, and subterranean terrain making up most of the rest. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player falls once all their towns and heroes are lost. Five towns, 26 mines, and a scattering of artifacts, including the Cards of Prophecy and the Pendant of Life, await along the way, alongside eight creature banks and eight monoliths or portals.
