Hourglass 2-Beta — RoE

Hourglass 2-Beta is a medium 72 by 72 map for two players, with two human seats and no teams, set in the Restoration of Erathia version of the game and including an underground level. Players start on separate sides with random factions, and the author notes that each side has time to build up before meeting the other. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with subterranean ground, water and grass making up most of the rest. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The difficulty is rated Expert. Notable features include two wandering Mighty Gorgon stacks, two Gold Golem stacks, six towns, 22 mines, 12 seer huts, 16 creature banks, and 20 monoliths and portals. Eleven named artifacts are placed on the map, along with 46 random artifacts.
