Murky Hellfire — RoE

Murky Hellfire is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Restoration of Erathia, rated hard, and it supports up to eight players, with four seats open to human players and four held for computer opponents. The Red, Blue, Tan and Green players are all Fortress, while the remaining four seats draw their factions at random, and the layout groups the eight players into six teams. Terrain is mostly swamp and lava, with subterranean ground and water making up the rest. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero has been taken. The map is dotted with recruiting sites, including dwellings for Archers, Griffins, Angels, Green Dragons, Efreets, Devils and Bone Dragons, along with many mines and creature banks. Water Elementals guard several spots, and the author recommends taking dwellings early and making good use of pathfinding.
