Light vs Dark — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Light vs Dark is an extra large, hard map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, built for eight players in four teams, with six slots open to humans and two held by the computer. The factions are Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Fortress, Necropolis, Dungeon and Inferno, and the win condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers close to half the surface and water about a third, with grass making up only a small share. Wandering Harpy Hags, Water Elementals and Earth Elementals roam the land alongside Archangels, Crusaders and Dread Knights, and the map is stocked with mines, creature banks, seer huts and a set of named artifacts. The author's description frames it as a clash between opposing forces, with neutrals staying out of the fight.
