[FtB] Battle of Ryth Aerien — HotA 1.7.2+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle of Ryth Aerien, by Veracruz, is an Extra Huge underground map measuring 216 by 216 tiles, built for seven players with no teams and no computer-only colors, so all seven seats can be human. Each player takes a different faction: Necropolis, Tower, Conflux, Rampart, Dungeon, Fortress and Stronghold. Rated Expert, it is rock-heavy, with water covering about 16 percent of the surface alongside swamp and wasteland. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map is scattered with 27 towns, 17 pre-placed heroes, 106 mines, 116 seer huts and 259 creature banks, along with wandering monsters such as Crystal and Azure Dragons, Chaos Hydras and Efreet Sultans. Placed artifacts include several Pendants and a Shield of Naval Glory.
