The Alliance — RoE

The Alliance is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, played by six players, all of whom can be human, split into two teams. The author's description frames it as a land divided by war between the East Alliance and the West Alliance, with the goal of defeating the opposing alliance. Each player's starting faction is random, and the difficulty is set to hard. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 19 towns and eight placed heroes, with grass, rock, water and subterranean terrain making up most of the land. Notable finds include minotaur king and minotaur guards roaming the map, seven artifacts placed in advance such as the Vampire's Cowl and the Bird of Perception, and a large number of mines, creature banks and dwellings.
