le marais — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Le Marais is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, rated Hard. It supports seven players, with one human seat and six computer-controlled colors, grouped into four teams. The factions include Rampart, Inferno, Fortress, Castle, Stronghold, Tower, Necropolis, and Dungeon, and some players start with more than one. According to the author, the story begins after a territory is taken in Austreden and an invitation arrives to meet King Alexandre at Murau castle in Stenmark about a possible alliance. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and a player loses if a specific hero is lost. The map holds 18 towns, 79 mines, 24 creature banks, and a Grail, along with placed artifacts such as the Garniture of Interference and the Sea Captain's Hat. Water covers about 22 percent of the terrain.
