The Darkside — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Darkside is a medium-sized, expert-level two-player map for Restoration of Erathia, set on a 72 by 72 tile battlefield with an underground level. Two random-faction players face off in a free-for-all with no teams, and both seats are human. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock and lava, with dirt and water making up the rest, and volcanic eruptions shape the setting described by the author. The map holds four towns, eighteen mines, six creature banks, and six monoliths or portals. Notable features include a Gold Golem wandering the map, an Endless Bag of Gold, and dwellings for Beholders, Orcs, and Earth Elementals.
