Strange times — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Strange times is a small 36 by 36 map for four players on the Restoration of Erathia version of the game, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty setting. All four seats are human-playable, and the players are split into two teams. Red plays Rampart, Blue plays Fortress, Orange plays Tower, and Purple plays Stronghold. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Grass, subterranean ground, dirt, and lava make up most of the terrain, with a little water. The map holds four towns, 28 mines, 33 wandering monster stacks, 27 randomly placed artifacts, a creature bank, two monoliths or portals, two timed events, and the Grail. The description suggests the goal is to reach the underground and wipe out the opposing team.
