Water Cross — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Water Cross is a medium 72 by 72 map for four players, with up to four human participants and two teams, set on a sea-dominated underground level. Water covers about 68 percent of the surface, with rock and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. Players start with random factions, and victory comes from eliminating every enemy, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map is rated expert and is a reworking of a familiar layout with a few small changes near the center. Nine towns are present, along with a Gold Golem and an Arch Mage wandering the waters. The map also holds four spellbooks for the elements, Angel Wings, Cards of Prophecy, and several other placed artifacts, plus 29 mines and 11 seer huts.
