Playroom of the Gods — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Playroom of the Gods is a medium-sized underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, set for two computer-controlled players, with only one human player allowed. The author describes the gods growing tired of ordinary pastimes and turning to a stranger game, with the human player pulled from a home kingdom to take part. Both sides, Red and Blue, may choose from all eight castle types, and no teams are set. Blue is computer-only. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly dirt, with water covering about 17 percent of the map. Eighteen towns, sixteen mines, and seventeen monoliths and portals are spread across the land, and wandering monsters include Archangels, Arch Devils, and Basilisks. Several artifacts are placed on the map, including a number of Legion pieces, and the difficulty is set to Expert.
