Inside Information — RoE

Inside Information is a small single-player underground map of 36 by 36 tiles, set on a level that is largely rock and subterranean ground with a modest share of grass and water. The author's description frames it as a race into a dragon's lair before the dragon feeds again. One player controls a Castle hero on Normal difficulty, with no teams and no computer opponents. The objective is to defeat a specific monster, and the game is lost if the 28-day timer runs out. Gold Dragon roams the map as a wandering stack, and the terrain holds seven mines, two creature banks, and two monoliths or portals. Nine named artifacts are scattered across the map, including the Boots of Speed and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords. Dwellings for Archers, Beholders, Goblins, Orcs and Gnolls are placed throughout, and eleven timed events add pressure.
