Lysiade — RoE

Lysiade is a medium-sized underground map measuring 72 by 72, designed for five players, with two of those slots open to human players and the other three controlled by the computer. No teams are set, so every player fights alone. Starting factions are random for four of the colors, while the Orange player begins as Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock, with grass, swamp and water covering the rest, and the swamp is the stretch that separates players from the rewards beyond their neighbor. The map holds nine towns, along with wandering monsters such as Black Dragons, Medusa Queens and Minotaur Kings, plus dwellings for Gnolls and Lizardmen. Players will find 29 randomly placed artifacts, 18 mines, four monoliths or portals, and five timed events.
