Matt's Best Map — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Matt's Best Map is a medium 72x72 Restoration of Erathia scenario with an underground level, set for three players at Normal difficulty, with only one human seat and the Blue and Tan colors left to the computer. There are no teams. Red plays Rampart, Blue plays Stronghold, and Tan combines Inferno and Necropolis. The author's note frames the story as defending your homeland against necromancers from the southwest. Rock covers about 44 percent of the terrain, water roughly 24 percent, with grass and lava making up the rest. Six towns, ten mines, and a seer hut are spread across the map, along with wandering Troglodytes, Pikemen and Swordsmen, five random monster stacks, and dwellings for Wood Elves, Hell Hounds and Rocs. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
