The Quest — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Quest is an extra large underground map for Restoration of Erathia, rated hard, spanning 144 by 144 tiles. Eight players take part, but only one seat can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. There are no teams. The factions are Inferno, Castle, Stronghold, Rampart, Necropolis, Tower, Fortress, and Dungeon, one per player. The premise has a king sending a cleric to uncover the source of unrest across the land, through several quests and two routes that open mid-game. Water covers about 28 percent of the terrain, with rock, grass, and snow making up much of the rest. The map holds 12 towns, the Grail, nine named artifacts, 50 random artifacts, 59 mines, and five timed events. Victory and defeat both depend on a specific hero.
