The Mandate of Heaven — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Mandate of Heaven is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 tiles for Restoration of Erathia, rated expert. Demonic invaders have overrun the land, and the player must win it back for a struggling dynasty. Five players share the map, with one human seat and four computer colors split into two teams. Red plays Castle, Blue plays Necropolis, Tan plays Inferno, and Green and Pink both play Dungeon. Rock covers nearly half the terrain and water about a fifth. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 12 towns, 49 mines, and the Grail, along with several artifacts such as Dragon Scale Armor and the Helm of Chaos.
