Black Alliance — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Black Alliance is an extra large 144 by 144 map for eight players, with two of them able to be human and the rest computer-controlled in colors Red, Blue, Tan, Green, Orange, Purple, Teal, and Pink, grouped into three teams. The map includes an underground level and is rated Expert. Each side plays a different town type, from Rampart and Stronghold to Necropolis, Inferno, and Dungeon. Rock covers much of the land, with water making up roughly a quarter of it. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Players will find thirty-three towns, thirteen placed heroes, and eight named wandering monster stacks, along with placed artifacts such as the Sword of Judgement and the Crown of the Supreme Magi. The author describes a long war nearing its final phase.
