Rivals — RoE

Rivals is a small 36x36 map for two players, played on the surface at Normal difficulty with the Restoration of Erathia game version. Its author's description frames it as a contest between two long-standing rivals who each hold a kingdom and try to improve it by seizing the other's land. Terrain is mostly grass, with swamp covering about a fifth of the area and water making up the rest. Both players start with random factions, and there are no teams. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, 15 mines, 33 wandering monster stacks, and two creature banks, along with five randomly placed artifacts. Water Elementals are the only creature available from dwellings.
