Middle Earth — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Middle Earth is an extra large underground-enabled map for eight players, with three human seats at most and five computer-only colors, split into two teams. It is set against Sauron and his forces, with the Gondor player already under threat early on. The victory goal is to transport a specific artifact, namely the Grail, to a target town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Factions range from Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Inferno and Dungeon, with two players on Rampart. Terrain is mostly rock, grass, water and snow, with 32 towns and 20 starting heroes. Expect many wandering monster stacks, 132 mines, 37 creature banks, and artifacts such as the Boots of Levitation and the Still Eye of the Dragon scattered across the map. The difficulty is set to Expert.
