Battle for Life! — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle for Life! is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, designed for four players who can all be human, with no teams. Red plays Inferno, Green plays Castle, Orange plays Dungeon, and Pink plays Rampart. Grass covers about 45 percent of the land, with rock, water, and lava making up the rest. The author calls it a first map, recommends the Hard difficulty, and says the gameplay was changed and details were added in 2001. Victory comes from upgrading a specific town, and the game is lost if the 140-day limit runs out. The map holds nine towns and the Grail, along with notable artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and Titan's Thunder, and wandering Black Dragons and an Ancient Behemoth.
