Empress and Advocate — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large 108 by 108 underground map casts the player as the Royal Advocate, who must govern the realm while the Empress is away and then mount a rescue after she is taken prisoner. Four players compete, with up to three human, and Orange is computer-only. There are no teams. The factions are Necropolis for Red, Inferno for Orange, Tower for Purple, and Rampart for Teal. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers 39 percent of the terrain and water 23 percent. Notable finds include the Cards of Prophecy, the Endless Purse of Gold, 38 mines, and 14 monoliths and portals.
