Once Bitten, Twice Shy — RoE

Once Bitten, Twice Shy is a small two-player map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, with both surface and underground levels in play. The author describes it as a one-on-one match in which a Tower town on the surface faces another on the underground, and the layers are meant to be used together. Red plays Tower, while Blue receives a random faction. Neither side has teams, and both seats are human-playable. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Half the terrain is grass and half is subterranean. The map holds two towns, one starting hero, and a single Black Dragon wandering stack, along with 25 random monster stacks. Notable placements include a Genie, Air Elemental and Earth Elemental dwelling, five random artifacts, 14 mines, a seer hut, a creature bank, and four monoliths or portals.
