Return of the Swamp King — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Return of the Swamp King is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for four players, with up to three human participants and the Green player controlled by the computer. The players form two teams. Red plays Tower, Blue plays Stronghold, Orange plays Rampart, and Green combines Dungeon and Fortress. The scenario describes an evil force rising from below to attack traders and villagers while a missing hero is still unaccounted for. The land is mostly grass, rock, and swamp, with no water. The map holds thirteen towns, fourteen placed heroes, many wandering monster stacks including dragons and mages, and artifacts such as the Crown of Dragontooth and the Golden Bow. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. It is rated hard.
