Crystal Claw — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Crystal Claw is a large underground map for four players, set on a 108 by 108 tile board with an underground level. Each player controls one of four factions: Rampart for Red, Castle for Blue, Conflux for Tan, and Dungeon for Green. Four human players can take part, and no computer-only colors are used. Teams are not set, so every side plays alone. The map is rated hard. The stated goal is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock and dirt, with patches of snow and grass and very little water. The map holds eight towns and roughly 135 random monster stacks, along with two Crystal Dragon stacks and a Gold Dragon, plus placed artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and the Sword of Hellfire. Mines, seer huts, creature banks, and monoliths and portals are scattered across the board.

Author's description

W tym rejonie świata po raz kolejny pojawił się Pierwszy Feniks, zakłócając przedłużającą się wojnę między czterema władcami. Pokonanie pierwszego feniksa przyniosłoby zwycięzcy wielki zaszczyt; gdyby ci się to udało, rywale niewątpliwie ugięliby się przed triumfatorem.
