Hourglass — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hourglass is a medium 72 by 72 map for two players, both held by humans, with no team setup. It includes an underground level, is rated expert, and was made for Restoration of Erathia. Red and Blue each begin with a randomly chosen faction. Each side starts apart from the other, which leaves time to build up before contact, and the layout offers plenty of ground to cover. Rock covers about a third of the surface, with water, subterranean terrain, and grass making up the rest. Six towns, 22 mines, and 16 creature banks are spread across it, along with two Gold Golem stacks and two Mighty Gorgon stacks wandering the map. Nine named artifacts are placed, including Angel Wings and the Tome of Fire Magic. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
