Independent States — RoE

Independent States is a medium 72 by 72 map for Restoration of Erathia, with half its ground grass and half subterranean, so underground levels are part of the play. Eight players each start with a different faction, from Castle and Rampart to Necropolis and Fortress, and all eight seats can be taken by humans; there are no teams. The setting is a land split into rival states after a catastrophe at its center, and the goal is to bring them together under one rule. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, while losing every town and hero ends a player's game. The map holds 48 towns, 144 mines, 366 artifacts, and 918 random monster stacks, and the Grail is placed on it.
