Carpe Diem — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Carpe Diem is a medium-sized 72 by 72 map with an underground level, built for six players who can all be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Every player starts with a random faction, and the terrain is mostly water, subterranean ground, rock and dirt. The victory goal is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses once they have no towns and no heroes left. The author's description frames the setting as a world where the gods have withdrawn and rival claimants blame one another, with the player sitting in the throne room and deciding they alone should rule. Sixteen towns are scattered across the map, with forty-two mines, thirteen creature banks, eight monoliths and portals, and eighteen placed artifacts, plus over a hundred random monster stacks roaming the land.

Author's description

A few years back the Gods decided they no longer wanted any part in this world. Now there is total anarchy. Everybody blames everyone else for the gods abandoning them. While sitting in the throne room, you decided you are the only person fit to rule.
