Emerald Isles — RoE

The Emerald Isles is a medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles set above ground, built for four players, all of whom may be human. Nearly half of its surface is water, and the rest is a mix of dirt, grass and rough ground. Each player starts with a randomly chosen faction, and there are no teams. The author's premise is a shipping route that several rival barons want to control, with the player cast as the one tasked with convincing the others to abandon their claims. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, one starting hero, and 24 mines, along with two creature banks, three timed events, eight randomly placed artifacts, and 36 random monster stacks. Dwellings for Wood Elves, Ogres and Lizardmen and wandering Gnoll and Grand Elf stacks are also scattered across the isles.
