Second Front — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Second Front is a medium map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, with an underground level included. It is set for four players, each controlling one faction, and all four can be human; no teams are defined and no computer-only colors are placed. Red plays Necropolis, Blue plays Tower, Tan plays Stronghold, and Green plays Inferno. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is mostly rock, with grass, dirt, and lava making up the rest, and there is no water. Scattered across the map are eight towns, four starting heroes, 72 random monster stacks, 26 random artifacts, 48 mines, and four seer huts. The description frames the scenario as a gamble to open a second front beyond protective barriers while an overwhelming enemy force is still being prepared for.
