Only the Strong Survive — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Only the Strong Survive is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, played on expert difficulty and built for Restoration of Erathia. Five players take part, with four seats open to humans and the Green player controlled by the computer alone. Players form three teams. The factions are Tower for Red, Inferno for Blue, Necropolis for Green, Dungeon for Purple, and Castle for Teal. The story describes underworld necromancers who have overrun the surface and a sword said to restore order. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the game is lost if 168 days pass. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, water about a quarter, and subterranean ground about a fifth. The map holds 19 towns, 38 mines, and 15 monoliths and portals, along with wandering stacks such as Black Dragons and Archangels.

Author's description

The Underworld Necromancers have struck with a vengeance never before seen. All of the weaker inhabitants of the overworld have been taken... Most killed and made into skeletons. Some kept prisoner for even more diabolical experiments. Legends tell of a magical sword that can restore order.
