Battle for Power[4v4 Hardcore] — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battle for Power is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for eight players, split into two teams of four, with each player's faction drawn from the full roster of eight: Rampart, Castle, Tower, Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold, Dungeon and Necropolis. The author describes it as a contest for the phoenix castle at the map's center, and the set difficulty is Impossible, with the computer side receiving fifty percent more army than on a standard map. Victory comes from capturing that specific town, while a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Thirty-four towns and heroes are placed across the terrain, which is mostly grass, swamp, sand and water. Wandering monsters include numerous azure dragons and phoenixes, and the map holds 113 mines, 48 seer huts, 42 monoliths and portals, and a number of placed artifacts.
