Archipelag — SoD

Archipelag is a two-player medium map set on a 72 by 72 grid with an underground level, played at Normal difficulty. Its name points to a chain of islands, and the terrain is mostly rock, with grass, snow and water filling the rest. Two human players can take part, each starting with a random faction, and there are no teams or computer-only colours. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds four towns, two starting heroes, thirty random monster stacks and a handful of wandering creatures, including an Arch Devil, a Faerie Dragon, an Azure Dragon, a Rust Dragon and a Walking Dead stack. Eight random artifacts, fifteen mines, three creature banks and eight monoliths or portals add further variety to the expansion.
