A Troubled Land — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A Troubled Land is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for three players with only one human seat. The Green player fields Rampart, Purple fields Castle and Rampart, and Teal fields Tower, and there are no teams. Purple and Teal are computer-only colors. The scenario is set on an archipelago where royalist forces try to put down a rebellion, and the human hero must move quickly before the enemy spreads beyond its strongholds. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the hero must not be lost. Rock covers about half the terrain, with grass and water making up most of the rest. The map holds thirteen towns, twelve placed heroes, and seventy mines, along with a Charm of Mana, several creature banks, and ten monoliths and portals. Hero level is capped at 21 and difficulty is set to Hard.

The Guilds' rebellion has begun. Royalist forces of Rojaice send their Hero Macro to re-establish order and defeat the uprising before the enemy will have a chance to spread their corrupting influence beyond their heavily fortified strongholds on the Archipelago of King Roger the Master and Sailor.
