Southern Cross — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Southern Cross is a large 108 by 108 map set partly underground, built for five players with four human slots and one computer-only color. There are no fixed teams, and every player's faction is random. Its setting is a chain of islands in southern seas, which the author describes as possibly a giant ancient calendar; the map is played across rock, water, dirt and subterranean ground, with water covering about a third of the surface. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero. The map holds nine towns, one starting hero, 66 wandering monster stacks, 34 random artifacts, 44 mines and two timed events, with the Restoration of Erathia version needed to play it.
