The Great Desert — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Great Desert is a small 36x36 underground-capable map for three players, with no teams and every player able to be human. Its story, as the author frames it, concerns a golden city that was seized by barbarian raiders, after which the gods' anger turned the surrounding land into desert. Terrain is mostly rock and sand, with some rough ground and a smaller share of subterranean tiles. Each player starts with a random faction and four heroes are placed across the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Notable features include a Zealot and an Evil Eye as wandering stacks, a Wolf Rider dwelling, ten mines, four creature banks, a seer hut, and a set of placed artifacts such as the Golden Bow and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords.
