X's and Allies — RoE

Set on a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, this scenario is built for four players, all of whom can be human, split into two teams. Each player's faction is random. Victory comes from defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The author notes that one team holds the top of the map and the other the bottom, leaving plenty of time to develop towns before fighting begins. Grass, subterranean ground, rock and water make up the terrain, with water covering about a sixth of the surface. The map holds 12 towns, 52 mines, 75 random monster stacks, 9 creature banks, 2 seer huts and 7 monoliths or portals. Two named artifacts, Ambassador's Sash and Boots of Speed, are placed alongside 25 random artifacts.
