Running with the Bulls — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Running with the Bulls is a small underground map measuring 36 by 36, designed for four players, with at most two of them human. Two rival heroes are suddenly dropped into an unfamiliar region and must decide whether to set their old feud aside to survive. The players form three teams, and the Tan and Orange colors are computer-controlled. The factions in play are Stronghold and Fortress. Most of the terrain is rock, rough ground, and swamp, with some subterranean areas. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Four towns, 24 mines, and 20 random artifacts are scattered across the map, and wandering Mighty Gorgons and Dragon Flies roam its paths.
