Shades of Grey — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Shades of Grey is a medium-sized underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and played on Normal difficulty. Three players each control one faction: Inferno in the north, Castle in the south, and Fortress in the middle, with no teams and all three seats human-controlled. The author's description sets the scene as demons pressing south, humans pushing north, and swamp dwellers acting for their own gain. Rock covers about 40 percent of the map and water about 13 percent. Players win by defeating all enemies and lose when they have no towns or heroes left. The map holds six towns, four starting heroes, and the Grail, along with two Red Dragon stacks, two Royal Griffin stacks, and several Manticores and Scorpicores roaming the terrain.

Author's description

In the north the evil Demons are trying to devestate the lands for their dark god Hashut. In the south the humans are trying to purge the land of evil in the name of their god Roth. In the middle the swamp dwellers are trying to conquer for no god, only their own greed. Good, evil or neutral?
