The Knight Templars — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Knight Templars is a large underground map for four players, each of whom is human-controlled, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Set in 1307 against the backdrop of King Philip of France's campaign to crush the Knights Templar, it asks players to either defend the order's emerging state or push to destroy it. Red, Blue, Orange and Purple fight on a 108 by 108 field where rock covers nearly half the terrain, grass about a quarter and water roughly a fifth. Factions include Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Tower, Fortress and Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 25 towns, 64 mines, 65 random monster stacks, and 25 randomly placed artifacts, along with a wandering Demon stack, two creature banks and six monoliths or portals.
