Honor Thy Brother — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Honor Thy Brother is a hard map on a large 108 by 108 grid, with an underground level. It seats seven players, with one human player at most and six computer-only colors plus a Green player with a random faction. The premise, paraphrased, is that a king will disinherit his son unless the son finds his elder brother Mistel, even if the search leads into a Black Dragon. There are no teams. The factions are Tower, Necropolis, Castle, Fortress, Dungeon, Inferno, and a random pick for Green. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Water covers about 29 percent of the map, with rock and subterranean ground making up much of the rest. Sixteen towns, 67 mines, 13 monoliths and portals, and 20 creature banks are spread across the map, and the placed artifacts include Cards of Prophecy and Dragon Scale Armor.
