Auger — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Auger is a medium underground scenario on a 72 by 72 tile map, played on the Shadow of Death engine. Six seats are set up for three teams, but only two can be human players, with the other four controlled by the computer. Two seats use random factions, two are Stronghold, and the remaining two are a mix of Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis and Dungeon. The map is mostly swamp, dirt, rough ground and grass, with a small share of water. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Terrain is spread with 28 mines, 28 creature banks, four monoliths or portals and eight towns. The Grail is placed on the map, alongside wandering stacks such as Gold Golems, Pixies and Storm Elementals, and dwellings holding Red Dragons, Hydras and Behemoths. The author is not named in the listing.
