Mercenaries 1 — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Mercenaries 1 is a two-player map for Restoration of Erathia, built on a large 108 by 108 grid with an underground level. Both players are human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The Green player leads a Stronghold and the Teal player a Fortress, and the goal is to defeat all enemies, while the game is lost if time runs out after 84 days. The landscape is mostly rock and grass, with some dirt and swamp and no water. The map's setup is a war over territory and resources, with the difficulty set to hard. Sixteen mines, four seer huts, two towns, and four heroes are placed, along with eight timed events. Wandering monsters include skeletons, wraiths, and hydras, and the map also holds four placed artifacts, such as the Tunic of the Cyclops King.
