The chess master — RoE

The Chess Master is a two-player medium map of 72 by 72 tiles on the surface, built for the Restoration of Erathia version and set at Normal difficulty. Each side starts with a hero and a random faction, and the two players face off directly with no teams and no computer-controlled colors. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The landscape is mostly grass and dirt with about seven percent water. Twelve towns are scattered across the map, guarded by 123 random monster stacks, and the wandering forces include ten Grand Elf stacks and two Angel stacks. Players will find six named artifacts, 34 random artifacts, 36 mines, 12 seer huts, 10 creature banks, and 31 monoliths and portals.
