The Five Rings — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Five Rings is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, set on two levels and built for six players, with only one human seat and five computer-controlled colors. Players are split into two teams. The factions in play are Inferno, Fortress, Castle, Stronghold, Necropolis, and Dungeon, each assigned to one color. The description casts the five Elemental Lords as invaders who must be confronted one after another. Terrain is mostly rock and subterranean ground, with roughly a tenth water and some lava. Wandering monsters include Naga and Basilisk stacks, and dwellings house creatures from Griffins up to Bone Dragons. Players will find 27 random artifacts, 46 mines, 11 creature banks, and 14 monoliths or portals. Victory means capturing a specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.
