Death of an Empire — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Death of an Empire is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 and rated hard. It supports eight players, all of whom can be human, and has no teams. The eight factions are Castle, Rampart, Necropolis, Tower, Stronghold, Inferno, Fortress, and Dungeon. Aeric I holds the center of Viandaria, a land short on minerals but rich and well placed, and his vassals have now turned against him. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 21 towns, 14 heroes, 78 mines, and 13 creature banks, along with wandering Earth Elementals and Infernal Troglodytes and placed artifacts such as the Orb of the Firmament. Water covers about 18 percent of the terrain.

Author's description

At the center of Viandaria, Aeric I rules the land. Despite being mineral poor, the prime position of his lands and great wealth have allowed him to cow his vassals. Now, however, the other lords have risen against him. Can you become lord of Viandaria?
