Playroom of the Gods — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Playroom of the Gods is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and aimed at expert players. Two players share the battlefield, but only one can be human. The other color is computer-controlled, and there are no teams. Both sides start with all eight town types built. The premise is that divine beings, tired of ordinary pastimes, have pulled a chosen hero into a more elaborate contest. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Expect water covering about 17 percent of the terrain, 16 mines, 17 monoliths and portals, and wandering forces ranging from goblins to archangels and basilisks.
