Save the Border — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Save the Border is a small underground map for Restoration of Erathia, measuring 36 by 36 with a single underground level. It is rated Expert and supports two players, though only one can be human, so the Orange side is computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Rampart and Orange plays Stronghold. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and the player loses if a specific hero is killed. The terrain is mostly rock, with rough ground and grass making up much of the rest, and water is nearly absent. The map contains five towns, ten mines, two creature banks and six timed events. Wandering monsters include air elementals, wood elves, grand elves and an ancient behemoth, and an Endless Purse of Gold is placed on the map. The author frames the story around reinforcing garrisons against a raiding force.

Author's description

The times are hard. There's unrest at home and war brewing at the borders. Meanwhile bad news arrive from lands across the sea. The Xuxa barbarians have started raiding again. You have been sent to reinforce the existing garrisons and teach the raiders a lesson in what well led elves can do.
