The Adventures of Blademan — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Adventures of Blademan is an extra-large, two-player map for the Restoration of Erathia version, measuring 144 by 144 tiles and including an underground level. It is set at Normal difficulty, and only one human player can take part, with the Red side left to the computer. Players have no teams, and the Blue side plays Castle while Red controls Inferno, Necropolis and Fortress. The story follows a hero on a quest for musical domination that also involves saving the world, told with a light, self-aware tone. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Around one fifth of the surface is water, with rock and grass covering much of the rest. The map holds sixteen towns and seven heroes, along with wandering troglodytes, harpies and skeletons, twenty-seven mines, and fourteen artifacts scattered across the land.

Author's description

This is an adventure of less than epic proportions. Join Blademan on his quest for musical world dominance, (and save the world in the process.) Any resemblance of Characters in this story to real persons is a real shame for the persons who they resemble.
