Messiah — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Messiah is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and rated Hard. The story has monster hordes overrunning the surface world, and the messenger Prazac must destroy them, whether they come from Exile or from a stronger unknown foe. Three players take part, with only one human seat, and the Blue and Tan colors are computer-controlled and form two teams. Red plays Castle, Blue mixes Castle, Rampart, Tower and Fortress, and Tan draws from Tower, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Stronghold and Fortress. Rock covers about half the terrain and water about a fifth. Expect 20 towns, 37 mines, 18 monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Crown of Dragontooth. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and losing one specific hero ends the game.
