The seven lakes — RoE

The Seven Lakes is a large overworld map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, with a single surface level and no underground. It is built for six players, of whom up to four can be human, and the two computer-only colors, Orange and Purple, are the ones the author warns about. Orange plays Necropolis and Purple plays Inferno, while the four human-capable colors receive random factions. There are no fixed teams, and victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player is eliminated once all of their towns and heroes are lost. Roughly 29 percent of the land is water, with dirt, grass and swamp making up most of the rest. The map holds 17 towns, 127 random monster stacks, 69 mines, 8 creature banks and 7 monoliths or portals, plus 50 randomly placed artifacts. Dwellings include Lich, Red Dragon, Medusa and Iron Golem among others.
