The Lord of War — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Lord of War is an Extra Large 144x144 map for Restoration of Erathia, played at Impossible difficulty with an underground level included. It supports eight players, with a single human seat and seven computer-only colors, and no teams are set. The factions are Tower, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, Castle, Inferno, Rampart and Necropolis, with Red alone starting with two. Water covers about a quarter of the map, alongside subterranean, grass and lava ground. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls. The author frames the story around a warlord who first explored the continents and united them, though he is portrayed as a barbarian rather than a man of peace. Wandering Minotaur Kings and Zealots are common, the map holds 48 towns, 64 mines and the Grail, and it places a range of artifacts, including dragon-themed armor and the Titan's Cuirass.

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.
