War of the Lance — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

War of the Lance is an Extra Large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Restoration of Erathia, set at Hard difficulty and inspired by the Dragonlance story. Seven players can all be human, grouped into three teams. The playable sides are the Knights of Solamnia, the Silvanesti elves, and a dwarven and Kendar alliance, opposed by Takhisis's forces, dragon armies, ogres, goblins, and undead, while Maelstrom forces stay neutral. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero. Water covers about a quarter of the map. The map holds 36 towns, 16 heroes, 12 mines, and artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and the Sword of Hellfire.
