Desert War — RoE

Desert War is a medium 72 by 72 surface map set almost entirely in sand, with only a sliver of water, and it is played at the Hard difficulty for two players, both of whom must be human. Neither side has a team, and each player's faction is random. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds five towns and six heroes, along with wandering stacks of Mighty Gorgons, Ghost Dragons, Efreet Sultans, Giants, and Thunderbirds. Dwellings house Efreet, Bone Dragons, Rocs, and Gorgons, and the Bird of Perception and Stoic Watchman are placed as artifacts. Mines, seer huts, creature banks, and monoliths or portals are scattered across the desert.
