The Nexus(Allies) — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large underground map, 108 by 108, is mostly water, which covers 56 percent of its surface. A traveling wizard offers passage to Melkonia, an unclaimed island, but the same offer has gone to rivals, so four players fight over the prize. Each player receives a random faction, teams are split into two, and all four seats can be human at normal difficulty. Victory means defeating every enemy, while a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map contains twelve towns, four starting heroes, 51 mines, 32 monoliths and portals, and 30 timed events. Highlights include 56 random artifacts, the Grail, one creature bank, and 92 random monster stacks roaming the land.
