Silmarillion — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Silmarillion is an extra large, two-level map of 144 by 144 tiles, set in a world shaped by Tolkien's legends and the struggle against Morgoth, the Dark Enemy. The author's description frames the story as a fight to stop him and his diabolic allies, with players choosing among Valars, Elves, Men and Dwarves. Eight seats are available, with four open to human players and four controlled by the computer, arranged into two teams. The factions are Tower, Castle, Rampart (two seats), Stronghold, Inferno, Dungeon and Fortress. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers most of the land, with grass, water and subterranean ground making up the rest. Scattered across the map are 31 towns, 18 creature banks, 108 mines and 4 monoliths or portals, plus wandering monsters such as Wood Elves and Grand Elves. The map is rated Expert.
