The Valhalla — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Valhalla is a Hard Viking-themed map for Restoration of Erathia, set on a medium 72 by 72 underground level for up to four players, with two human seats and two computer-controlled colors, Orange and Purple. Two teams compete. Red mixes Castle and Inferno, Blue plays Dungeon, Orange fields Tower and Fortress, and Purple combines Castle, Rampart, Stronghold and Fortress. Mercenaries are hired to recover a helmet stolen by giants, and the path there runs through many small quests. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About a quarter of the map is water, and most of the remaining land is rock, snow and grass. The map holds 22 towns, 40 mines, and artifacts such as the Armor of Wonder and Crown of the Supreme Magi, along with wandering Master Genies and Black Knights.
