Battle of Existance — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battle of Existance is an extra large 144 by 144 map for eight players, with an underground level, set at Normal difficulty. Each of the eight players leads a different faction, from Castle and Tower to Necropolis and Inferno, and all eight can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes eight leaders whose kingdoms have fallen into war against one another, each forced to defend its borders. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Rock, water, subterranean ground, and lava make up most of the terrain, with water covering about a fifth of the surface. Notable features include the Grail, 88 mines, 36 seer huts, and a number of artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and the Armor of Wonder.

Author's description

Eight leaders rule their own realm. Unfortunately through many phases and misunderstandings all of these Kingdoms were driven over the edge. Everyone was forced to declare war, even if everyone wouldn't have wanted to. Those unfortunate ones simply had to muster their armies to defend their borders.
