The Great Desert — RoE

The Great Desert is a small 36 by 36 map with an underground level, designed for three players who can all be human, with no teams. Purple, Teal and Pink each get a random faction. Its backstory, paraphrased, tells of a golden city seized by barbarian raiders, who slew its citizens, after which angry gods turned the land into a wasteland. About 43 percent of the ground is rock and 35 percent is sand, with rough terrain and some subterranean ground, and there is no water. The map holds four towns, ten mines and four creature banks, plus a seer hut and a timed event. Wandering Zealot and Evil Eye stacks roam the area, and artifacts such as the Golden Bow and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords are scattered about. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses upon losing every town and hero.
