Xena and Hephaestus's sword — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
This medium underground map, 72 by 72 tiles, sets four factions against each other across three teams, and only the Red seat can be played by a human. Xena must recover a sword forged by Hephaestus before rival warlords seize it and enslave the land. Red plays Castle, Blue plays Necropolis, Tan plays Dungeon, and Green plays Tower, with the other three colors controlled by the computer. Grass and rock cover most of the terrain, with subterranean areas and about a tenth water. Five towns, 32 mines, and wandering stacks of Efreet, a Black Dragon, and a Titan are on the map, along with the Bow of Elven Cherrywood and the Red Dragon Flame Tongue. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and losing a particular hero ends the game.
