A Battle — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A large underground battle map for eight players, each commanding one of the eight standard factions, and all eight can be human. The map runs on a 144 by 144 tile grid with an underground level, and it is set on Hard difficulty. No teams are defined, so every player fights for themselves, and victory comes from defeating every enemy. A player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. Grass, swamp, subterranean and rough ground make up most of the terrain, with no water. The 40 towns are spread across the land, and the map holds 116 mines, 35 creature banks and several dwellings offering creatures such as Angels, Griffins and Dendroid Guards. Six pieces of the Legion armor set and a Clover of Fortune are placed on the map, alongside 222 random artifacts. A Troll stack wanders the land.

Author's description

The most powerful war that the world has ever seen has just broken out! Eight kings vie for the exclusive rule of the Lands. Each tries the might of his own empire to bring the others under their control. And since all the kingdoms are in revolution, only the respected capital will reign.
