A Bloody Mess — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Bloody Mess is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for eight players in four teams with a Hard difficulty rating. Every player can be human, and no colors are reserved for the computer. Red, Blue, Orange, and Purple begin with random factions, while Tan, Green, Teal, and Pink each may choose from eight of the game's towns. The map is mostly grass with some sand and a small share of water. Victory comes from flagging all creature dwellings, and a player loses when all towns and heroes are gone. Scattered across the land are 56 mines, 28 monoliths and portals, 10 creature banks, and 8 seer huts, along with a placed Necklace of Ocean Guidance. Wandering Dread Knights, Scorpicores, Black Dragons, and Air Elementals roam the map, and the dwellings hold a mix of elementals and dragons.
