Rivalry — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Rivalry is an extra large underground-enabled map for eight players, each controlling one hero and one town at the start, with no teams and no computer-only seats. The author's description frames it as a succession struggle after a king's death by poison, with each of the eight factions pursuing its own aims. Players take on Inferno, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Tower, Necropolis, Rampart and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated once they lose every town and hero. The map is roughly a sixth water, with rock, grassland and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. Sixteen towns, 33 mines and the Grail are scattered across it, along with wandering monster stacks such as skeleton warriors and lizardmen, and placed artifacts including the Cards of Prophecy and the Crown of Dragontooth.
