The Nexus(Duel) — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Nexus (Duel) is a two-player map of large size, 108 by 108, with an underground level. Two players can take part, both human, and there are no teams. Each player starts with a random faction, and the goal is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author's description tells of a travelling wizard who offers a gateway to the unclaimed isle of Melkonia, and of the rival war that follows over possession of that land. Water covers a little more than a third of the surface, with rock and grass making up most of the rest. The map holds ten towns, along with a Grail, fifty random artifacts, forty-three mines, and twenty-eight monoliths and portals. Wandering monsters include archers, stone gargoyles, and a centaur, and dwellings offer creatures from many factions.

Author's description

When a travelling wizard offers to open a gateway to the distant unclaimed island of Melkonia, you jump at the chance to improve your station. But the villain has made the same offer to others and now you find yourself in a war for possession of the bountiful isle.
