Middle Earth 2.3 — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Middle Earth 2.3 is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, built for eight players in three teams, with every seat able to be human. The author's description frames it as a campaign of medieval warfare across the northern lands and the southern deserts, centered on large castle sieges and rival peoples. Factions include Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Inferno and Necropolis. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, water and grass cover most of the terrain. Wandering orc, goblin, ogre and wolf rider stacks roam the map, and twenty-nine towns and twenty-one heroes are placed across it, with many artifacts, mines and monoliths.
