Start From Scratch (Allies) — RoE

Start From Scratch (Allies) is a medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, set for four players in two teams with one human seat for each. The author's premise is that while a player was away on a long campaign, two new enemies seized two towns to the south, and the task is to retake those towns and defeat the invaders. Players control Castle, Tower, Stronghold, and Rampart factions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers much of the land, with grass, subterranean ground, and sand making up most of the rest, and water is scarce. The map holds six towns, a variety of wandering creatures including griffins, golems, and crusaders, twenty-six mines, and eighteen random artifacts, along with placed relics such as the Boots of Levitation and the Pendant of Negativity.
