Kirks Holding — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Kirks Holding is an extra large map measuring 144 by 144, with an underground level and an expert difficulty rating. Seven players can take part, though at most six can be human, and the purple side is reserved for the computer. Teams are not used. The factions are Castle, Tower, Dungeon, Rampart, Stronghold, Inferno, and Fortress. The author frames the story around a monstrous evil being who threatens to plunge six feuding factions into a long age of darkness. Rock covers about half the terrain, with water, grass, and snow making up the rest. The map holds 17 towns, 41 mines, and eight placed artifacts, including the Sword of Hellfire. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
