Ergoth — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ergoth is an extra large underground-capable map for six players split into three teams, with each player controlling one of six factions: Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Necropolis, Dungeon, and Inferno. Its 144 by 144 field is mostly grass and rock with a smaller share of subterranean terrain and no water. The author describes a power struggle among six clans after a king dies, and players join one of them to seize the crown. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map is rated expert and holds 19 towns and 13 pre-placed heroes. Wandering Black Dragon and Ancient Behemoth stacks, a Head of Legion artifact, and the Grail itself are among its notable features, alongside 122 mines and six creature banks.
