Fools gold — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Fools Gold is an extra large underground map for Restoration of Erathia, set on a 144 by 144 board with both surface and underground levels. Its author describes a story in which the lower classes have rebelled, leaving the player's realm without workers for its fields and mines, and word arrives that the King's long-hidden treasure has been found beneath the land. Five players take part, with up to four controlled by humans and one computer-only Orange, and no teams are set. Every player begins with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about 39 percent of the terrain and water about 33 percent. The map holds eight towns, a single starting hero, 66 mines and the Grail, along with a range of guarded dwellings, ten monoliths and portals, and fifteen named artifacts.

The lower classes have revolted and left you with no surfs to work your fields or your mines. How are you supposed to go and help the King when you cant leave your home, and you have just received word that the treasure of the Kings has been discovered somewhere beneath the world.
