Quest of the Ages — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Quest of the Ages is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and set at Normal difficulty. Eight colors compete, but only one can be played by a human; the other seven are computer-controlled and form seven teams. The factions range across Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Castle, Dungeon, Inferno, Necropolis and Fortress. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The author frames it as a search for the Holy Grail, with the race against a rival force. Snow, rock, grass and water make up most of the terrain, and the map holds 13 towns, 35 heroes, 143 mines, and a Grail. Wandering Angels, Archangels, Bone Dragons and Arch Devils roam the land, and placed artifacts include the Golden Bow and Boots of Levitation.
