Knieza — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Knieza is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles, set in the Restoration of Erathia ruleset and intended for normal difficulty. Eight players share the field, with up to five controlled by humans and three left to the computer, playing as Stronghold, Necropolis and Inferno. The remaining colors start with random factions, and no teams are set. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The author's description frames the contest as a struggle for a royal throne, with rival princes uniting the land against an invading Hun army that is stronger than any single prince, so temporary alliances are suggested. Rock, water and grass cover most of the terrain, and the map holds 27 towns, 88 mines, and wandering monsters led by Minotaur Kings, along with Archangels and Black Dragons.

Author's description

Si jeden z uchadzacov o kralovsky tron. Musis porazit protivnikov a zjednotit krajinu. Len tak sa da celit hunskej hrozbe. Atilova hunska armada je silnejsia ako sily jednotlivych kniezat. (Vhodne pre viac hracov, ktori mozu uzavriet docasny mier na obranu proti Hunom) autor: jatagan@seznam.cz
