Conquering Denmark — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Conquering Denmark is an Extra Large Shadow of Death map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, rated Expert and built for seven players, with only one human seat and six computer-controlled colors. There are no teams. Red plays Castle, Blue Tower, Tan Stronghold, Green Rampart, Orange Fortress, Purple Inferno and Teal Conflux. Rock covers roughly 47 percent of the land and water about 29 percent. The author's premise is that a country has been split among seven rulers, and the aim is to unite it while keeping the hero Harald alive. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the game is lost if Harald falls. The map holds 15 towns, several wandering monster stacks including Giants and golems, 68 mines, and 18 random artifacts, along with placed relics such as the Orb of the Firmament and the Sentinel's Shield.

Author's description

Once upon a time, many hundreds of years ago, the country of Denmark was divided up between seven different landlords. Can you unite the country without losing Harald in battle?
