The Crossroad — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Crossroad is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, set for four players who each start with one town and can all be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The factions are Tower for Red, Fortress for Blue, Necropolis for Tan, and Castle for Green. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is listed as hard. Rock covers nearly half the terrain and water about 29 percent, with grass and rough ground making up the rest. Eight heroes are placed, and the map holds 32 mines, 10 monoliths and portals, 20 random artifacts, and the Grail. Wandering stacks include Vampires, Liches, Ghost Dragons, and Dread Knights, while dwellings offer Angels, Giants, Bone Dragons, and Hydras. The author leaves the question of attack versus defense open.
