Sorrow's End — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Sorrow's End is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set in a world the author describes as struck by meteors and fire after the death of a king, with Hell breaking up from below. It is rated Expert and supports eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player takes a different faction, from Dungeon and Stronghold to Inferno, and the win condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Subterranean, water, lava and rock terrain each make up a large share of the map, with water at 16 percent. Notable features include the Grail, 18 towns, nine heroes placed at the start, and fifteen timed events. Wandering monsters such as Arch Devils and Power Liches roam the land, and dwellings hold creatures like Red Dragons and Hydras.

Author's description

In a time of darkness, following the recent death of Good King Richard, the world has been pelted by meteors and fire from the heavens. Little remained, and then the explosions from Hell itself burst upward from the underworld destroying even that. There is little hope...
