Empress and Advocate — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The map Empress and Advocate is a large underground map, 108 by 108 tiles, built for the Restoration of Erathia setting and played on Normal difficulty. It supports four players, three of them human at most, with the orange player controlled only by the computer. There are no teams. The factions are Necropolis for red, Inferno for orange, Tower for purple, and Rampart for teal. Rock covers the largest share of the terrain, followed by water, lava and grass. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds nine towns and seven starting heroes, with wandering monsters such as Cerberus, Magog and Medusa Queens guarding the paths. Six seer huts, fourteen monoliths and portals, thirty-eight mines and fifty-seven random artifacts add to the exploration, and six artifacts are placed by the map itself.
