4 Artifacts — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

4 Artifacts is an Extra Large map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, set at Normal difficulty. It supports eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and random factions for every side. Water covers about three quarters of the map, and dirt and snow make up most of the remaining land. Each player starts with four Relic Artifacts, and every artifact on the map has already been activated. The map is designed mainly for multiplayer but can also be played against the computer. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player is defeated after losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include 40 randomly placed artifacts, the Grail, 22 monoliths and portals, 10 creature banks, and 59 mines.
