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. It supports eight players, with a single human player and seven computer-controlled colors, arranged into seven teams. The factions in play are Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Castle and Tower again for Green, Dungeon, Inferno, Necropolis and Fortress. The goal is to build a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The landscape is mostly snow, rock and grass, with about eleven percent water. Wandering monsters include Angels, Archangels, Bone Dragons and Arch Devils, and the Grail is placed on the map. Mines, creature banks, seer huts and monoliths are scattered throughout, along with several artifacts and about fifty random ones.
