Hydra Rancher — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Hydra Rancher is a medium-sized underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, rated hard, for five players with up to four human players and one computer-only color, Orange. Each player starts with a Fortress, and there are no teams. The author's description frames the goal as defeating a ruler of hydras who lives in a mountain town, warning that this opponent is cunning and will not fall easily. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly rock and water, with some subterranean and grass ground. Hydras guard the dwellings and roam the map in large numbers, including a Chaos Hydra stack, and the map also holds a set of Legion artifacts and an Orb of Silt.
