The Ways — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Ways is an extra-large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, set at Normal difficulty and built for eight players, of whom up to six can be human, with two colors reserved for computer opponents. There are no teams. Each color starts with a different town type, covering Castle, Stronghold, Necropolis, Fortress, Tower, Rampart, Dungeon and Inferno. The map is drawn largely from rock, with water covering about a quarter of it and subterranean ground making up much of the remainder. Its premise follows a well-known fantasy novel, and the goal is to break the seals of a prison by uniting the lands, then defeating a particular hero rather than meeting standard conditions. A player loses by losing every town and hero. Among the notable features are a Grail, several dragons and liches roaming the map, and placed artifacts such as the Titan's Cuirass and the Ring of Conjuring.
