The Pestilence — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Pestilence is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Restoration of Erathia at Normal difficulty. One human player, using Tower, faces a computer-controlled Necropolis opponent in Tan, with no teams. The premise is a peaceful city overrun by undead, and the aim is to find their source and reclaim the town. Victory means capturing one specific town, while losing every town and hero ends the game. Terrain is mostly rock, with notable subterranean, swamp and lava areas and a little water. Highlights include the Grail, 59 mines, and the Crown of the Supreme Magi, along with roaming Power Liches and Ghost Dragons.

Author's description

The city of Stobangskite was peaceful until the Pestilence came, bringing hordes of undead. Can you find the source of the undead and destroy them, reclaiming the city? Can the author triumph over this tired premise? This map is as entertaining as it is realistic. (Note the ambiguity.)
