Vial of Life — RoE

Vial of Life is a large 108 by 108 map for up to four players, with two seats open to human players and two reserved for computer opponents, and no teams. Players start with random factions, and the game is set on the surface with no underground level. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, the Vial of Life Blood, to the king, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 41 percent of the map, with grass making up most of the rest. The map holds five towns, twenty mines, ten creature banks, and ten monoliths and portals, along with eight randomly placed artifacts and many wandering monster stacks, including Vampire Lords, Thunderbirds, and Cyclops. A timed event adds a further element to the play.
