The Lord of the Rings V 1_5 — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This Extra Large underground map, measuring 144 by 144, loosely adapts J.R.R. Tolkien's work. It keeps close to the source but does not reproduce every event of the story. The Expert-rated map supports six players, with one human seat at most, and the other five colors are computer-controlled. Four teams are in play, and the factions include Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Stronghold, Inferno, and Tower. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while a player loses by losing a specific hero. Rock and grass cover most of the terrain, and water makes up about eleven percent. Notable features include 92 mines, 13 towns, 21 creature banks, two monoliths and portals, and placed artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and the Glyph of Gallantry.
