Islands and Caves — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Islands and Caves is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, built for Restoration of Erathia and rated Hard. Six players are set up, with four seats open to humans and two colors, Orange and Purple, controlled by the computer and both fielding Dungeon towns. The other four players start with random factions. There are no teams. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Water covers about 29 percent of the surface, with rock, grass and subterranean ground making up the rest. The map's story centers on islands linked by hidden cave passages. Sixteen towns, 116 wandering monster stacks, 51 random artifacts, 49 mines, three creature banks and two timed events are scattered across it. Dwellings hold Troglodytes, Harpies, Beholders and Gnolls.
