Dragon Crossing — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragon Crossing is a medium-sized underground map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and rated as a hard challenge. Four players can take part, all of them human-controlled, with no teams and no computer-only colors, and each side starts with a random faction. The map is mostly rock, with grass, sand and water making up the rest. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The author notes that enemies sit close by, but the direct route is blocked by Gold Dragons, leaving players to either defeat them or use the teleports outside their starting area. Other features include eight towns, a Black Dragon and a Gnoll Marauder on the move, 80 random monster stacks, and a placed Greater Gnoll's Flail.
