Der Ringkrieg (Deluxe Edit ME) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This extra large 144 by 144 map with underground levels is set in the Third Age of Middle-earth, where darkness spreads. Sauron has grown stronger and seeks the One Ring so he can destroy the elves and men of the free peoples. Five players share the map, but only one may be human. The other four colors are computer-controlled and split into two teams with Red. Red plays Castle and Rampart, while Blue, Tan, Green and Purple each field one faction. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and defeat occurs when a specific town is lost. The difficulty is Impossible. Rock covers 40 percent of the terrain, and the Grail and ten towns are placed across it.
