Empress and Advocate — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Empress and Advocate is a large underground map set in the Restoration of Erathia version, measuring 108 by 108 tiles. Four players are placed, with one color, Orange, reserved for the computer, so up to three humans can take part. There are no teams. The factions are Necropolis for Red, Inferno for Orange, Tower for Purple, and Rampart for Teal. The standard victory is to build a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 39 percent of the surface, with water at 23 percent and lava at 10 percent. Nine towns and seven heroes are placed, and the map holds wandering stacks of Cerberus, Magog, Medusa Queens and other strong creatures. It also includes 38 mines, 14 monoliths and portals, and six Seer huts. Named artifacts such as the Pendant of Death and the Vampire's Cowl are scattered about.
