The Rise of Thoran — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Rise of Thoran is an Extra Large map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, made for Restoration of Erathia and rated Hard. It takes place in Vallaria, where kingdoms that had only recently settled their long conflicts now face a new menace in Thoran, the Wizard King. Eight players share the map, with at most two controlled by humans and the rest by the computer, grouped into five teams. The factions include Castle, Necropolis, Inferno, Rampart, Dungeon, Tower, Stronghold, and Fortress. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 45 percent of the terrain and water about 20 percent. The map holds 48 towns, the Grail, and artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius, along with many wandering monsters.
