War of the Lance — RoE

War of the Lance is an extra large underground-capable map of 144 by 144 tiles, rated Hard, for seven players, all of whom can be human, arranged into three teams. It is built around the Dragonlance story, in which the Knights of Solamnia, the Elves of Silvanesti, and a Dwarven and Kendar alliance face the evil armies of Takhisis, Neraka's dragon forces, and their Ogre, Goblin and Undead allies, while Maelstrom forces stand neutral. The factions in play are Castle, Rampart, Tower, Fortress, Stronghold, Dungeon and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Water and rock cover roughly half the map, with grass and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. Notable finds include ten placed artifacts such as the four Tomes of magic, 12 mines, 36 towns, and a seer hut.
