A new threat. — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A new threat is an extra large underground map for eight players, with seven slots open to humans and one computer-only Conflux force in Orange. Factions are random for most players, and there are no fixed teams, so victory requires defeating all enemies while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The author's brief describes a new enemy rising in the northern desert that threatens the established kingdoms. Rock, water, and subterranean ground make up most of the 144 by 144 field, and the map holds 33 towns, three placed heroes, and a Grail. Notable finds include the Sword of Hellfire, the Golden Bow, and the Tome of Earth Magic, alongside wandering Phoenixes, Azure Dragons, and Bone Dragons.
