The Odyssey — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Odyssey is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, played on Normal difficulty in the Restoration of Erathia version. It draws its premise from Homer's epic poem and follows Ulysses, a Trojan War leader whose journey home to Ithaca is blocked by angered gods. Seven players are set up, but only one can be human, and no teams are defined. The factions include Rampart, Castle, and Tower, with Orange holding both Castle and Rampart and Purple assigned at random. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with water making up about a third. Victory requires capturing a specific town, while a player loses if a specific hero falls. Notable features include 12 towns, a wide spread of mines, and placed artifacts such as the Blackshard of the Dead Knight and the Centaur's Axe.
