a very very hard map — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A very very hard map, as its title says, set on an extra large 144 by 144 board with an underground level and rated Impossible. Seven players take part, but only one seat is open to a human, and the other six are run by the computer across two teams. Red plays Dungeon, while Inferno, Rampart, Necropolis, Tower, Castle and Fortress fill the other colors. Dirt covers most of the land, with water taking about a quarter and rock a small share. The map holds 25 towns, 88 mines, 17 monoliths and portals, the Grail, and five named artifacts including the Dragon Scale Shield. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
