Save the Border 2.0 — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Save the Border 2.0 is a small 36 by 36 underground map for Restoration of Erathia, rated expert. One human player, leading a Rampart force in Red, faces a computer-controlled Stronghold force in Orange, with no teams. The description frames the scenario as reinforcing border garrisons against barbarian raiders from across the sea. Rock covers nearly half the map, with rough ground and grass making up much of the rest, and water is almost absent. Five towns, two starting heroes, ten mines, two creature banks, and an Endless Purse of Gold are placed. Wandering stacks include Air Elementals, Grand Elves, and an Ancient Behemoth. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Seven timed events are also scripted.
