13 Islands — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

"13 Islands" is a medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, set for five players who each control a single faction: Inferno, Castle, Rampart, Dungeon and Tower. Every player is human-capable, and there are no teams. Nearly two fifths of the surface is water, with rock covering much of the rest, so movement depends on ferrying across the islands that give the map its name. The difficulty is rated hard. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero has been removed. Scattered across the islands are five towns, a large number of wandering monsters such as Gold Golems, Rocs and Ghost Dragons, twelve mines, two creature banks, and four monoliths and portals. Several artifacts are placed on the map, including an Endless Sack of Gold and two orbs, along with nineteen random artifacts.
