Long Road Home — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Long Road Home is a medium two-player underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, set in the Restoration of Erathia version of the game. Two players can take part, both human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side gets a random faction, and the goal is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The premise is that the chosen hero begins away from the home city and must find a route back while working against the opponent. The map holds 20 towns and four heroes, with dwellings offering creatures such as Angels, Green Dragons, and Bone Dragons. Rocky and subterranean ground dominate the terrain, with grass and a small share of water. Roc, Titan, and Grand Elf stacks roam the map, and a scattering of artifacts, including Boots of Speed and the Dragon Scale Shield, sits among the mines and monoliths.
