Darkness Falls — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Darkness Falls is an extra-large map of 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level, set in a land shrouded by the awakening of the necromancer Morgmeil. It is rated Hard and supports seven players, two of whom can be human, with the other five played by the computer. Players form four teams, and the factions in play include Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Fortress, Inferno and Necropolis. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain and water about 19 percent, with a good share of grass and subterranean ground. Wandering Wraiths and Water Elementals are the most common roaming threats, and the map holds the Grail along with many artifacts, mines and creature banks.
