Glory Road — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Glory Road is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles, rated hard, for eight players where only one can be human and the other seven are computer-controlled. There are no teams. The factions in play are Necropolis, Tower (played by two colors), Fortress, Rampart, Inferno, Castle and Stronghold. The author frames it as a holy crusade seeking the Grail, with the goal of locating Hades and defeating Metatron. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and the player loses if a particular hero, Brother John the Cleric, falls. The land is mostly rock, snow and grass, with some subterranean ground and about five percent water. Among its 19 towns and 22 heroes are wandering monster stacks, a Grail, and a set of placed artifacts, including a Tome of Air Magic and a Vial of Lifeblood.

The forces of Chaos are gathering for a final onslaught and the clergy are ready to lead a holy crusade to find the Grail and to unite our people. Locate Hades and crush the fallen angel Metatron before he has a chance of rallying his forces, but don't lose Brother John the Cleric.
