Battle for Power[2v2 Hardcore] — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battle for Power is an extra-large map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level. Eight colors can all be played by humans, and each starts with a different town: Rampart, Castle, Tower, Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold, Dungeon, or Necropolis. The colors form four teams. The difficulty is set to Impossible, and the computer receives 50 percent more army than on a standard map. Victory comes from capturing the phoenix castle at the center or defeating all opponents, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. Grass is the largest terrain type, followed by sand, swamp, and water. The map holds 34 towns, 113 mines, and 42 monoliths and portals, along with many wandering stacks, including Azure Dragons and Phoenixes, and artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade.
