The Lord of War — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Lord of War is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, set in the Restoration of Erathia version and rated Impossible. Eight players are placed, but only one can be human, and the other seven colors are computer-controlled. There are no teams. The factions include Tower, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, Castle, Inferno, Rampart and Necropolis, with the Tower and Dungeon pairing given to the Red player. Water covers about a quarter of the surface, with subterranean, grass and lava ground making up much of the rest. The map is won by defeating all enemies, and it is lost if a specific hero falls. Notable features include 48 towns, 41 pre-placed heroes, a Grail, and 15 random artifacts alongside several named relics. Wandering Minotaur Kings and Zealots are among the most common monsters.

Author's description

This is the story of Leondegrance's war. In ancient times this great warlord was the first one to explore the continents and finally unite them into one great kingdom. Nevertheless he was not a man of peace and honour...but a barbarian in heart and mind.
