Hourglass 3* — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hourglass 3 is a medium 72 by 72 map for Restoration of Erathia, set partly underground and played at expert difficulty. Two human players can take part, with no computer-only colors and no teams. Red and Blue each receive a random faction. The author says each side begins in its own territory, with plenty to collect and a limited amount of time. Rock covers about 31 percent of the surface, subterranean ground about 22 percent, water 16 percent and grass 11 percent. The map holds six towns, 24 mines, 11 seer huts, 17 creature banks and 19 monoliths and portals. Wandering Diamond Golems and Mighty Gorgons roam in two stacks each, and nine named artifacts, including the Tome of Fire Magic and the Tome of Air Magic, are placed alongside 45 random ones. A player wins by defeating all enemies and loses by losing every town and hero.
