Crossing Lakes v1.0 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Crossing Lakes v1.0 is a large two-player map of 108 by 108 tiles, with an underground level included. It is set at Normal difficulty and plays for two players, both of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Orange and Purple each start with the same seven factions available: Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold and Fortress. Rock covers roughly half the surface, grass about a third, and water around five percent. Six towns and six heroes are placed, and the map holds wandering monsters such as Trolls, Azure Dragons, Chaos Hydras and Basilisks, along with mines, creature banks, monoliths and a set of placed artifacts. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
