Wolves of Winter — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Wolves of Winter is a small underground-capable map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, played in the Restoration of Erathia version and rated Hard. It supports two players, with one human seat and one computer-controlled color, Red, which fields Inferno and Necropolis. The opposing Blue player uses Tower, and no teams are set. Terrain is mostly snow and rock, with subterranean areas and some lava, and there is no water. The description frames the story as a rebellion against a long-standing Empire, with raids weakening its strongholds before a final push. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific town falls. Three towns and three heroes are placed, along with 11 mines, a seer hut, a creature bank, and two monoliths or portals. Notable encounters include wandering golems, griffins and dwarves, a Medusa dwelling, and a Necklace of Dragonteeth.
