Talitha The Dragonmaster — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Talitha the Dragonmaster is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, built for three players with up to two human participants, while the Blue player is computer-controlled only. No teams are set, and each player receives a random faction. The main terrain is a mix of grass, rock, and rough ground with about five percent water. The story centers on a dragonmaster who has been captured and must be rescued and brought home. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Expect expert-level difficulty, with 18 towns, 61 mines, and 84 random monster stacks. Wandering dragons, dendroids, and dread knights guard the way, and the underground holds a range of artifacts, including the Boots of Speed and the Cape of Conjuring. Monoliths, portals, and five creature banks add further movement and reward options.
