The Nexus(Allies) — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Nexus(Allies) is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, built for four players in two teams, with each player's faction assigned at random. Water covers a little over half the map, and grass and dirt make up most of the remaining land. The author describes a travelling wizard who opens a gateway to the unclaimed island of Melkonia, which draws several rivals into a struggle over it. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 12 towns, 51 mines, 56 randomly placed artifacts, and a Grail, along with 92 random monster stacks, a creature bank, and 32 monoliths and portals. Wandering Stone Gargoyles, Archers, and Griffins are among the guarded stacks, and timed events appear throughout the game.

Author's description
