The Wizard of Farsee — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Wizard of Farsee is a medium-sized underground map for Restoration of Erathia, measuring 72 by 72 tiles and set on Normal difficulty. Five players take part, with four human seats and one computer-only player in Purple, and there are no fixed teams. The factions are Necropolis for Red, Stronghold for Blue, Rampart for Green, Fortress for Orange, and Tower for Purple. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses when every town and hero is gone. The map is roughly a quarter water, with rock, sand and rough ground making up much of the rest. Its nine towns are joined by mines, creature banks, dwellings and wandering monsters, along with about twenty random artifacts and a set of timed events. The story centers on a wizard who first appeared as a welcome protector and then began to demand more than his share.

Author's description

When the Wizard of Farsee first arrived, he was hailed as a savior. Petty wars and feuding amongst neighbors ceased once it was known that the Wizard's great Skyship ruled the air. But the Wizard is greedy, and takes more than his fair share....
