Dragon Lance — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragon Lance is a large underground-capable map of 108 by 108 tiles, built for the Shadow of Death expansion, and it casts Chaos's invasion of Krynn as its premise. Seven players share the field, with up to three of them controlled by humans and four held by the computer: Red, Purple, Teal and Pink. The players form two teams, and the factions in play include Rampart, Castle, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress and Stronghold. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Rock covers about 40 percent of the land and water roughly 16 percent. The map holds ten towns, 97 mines and a Grail, along with wandering Wraiths, Red Dragons and Ancient Behemoths, plus artifacts such as the Tome of Fire Magic and the Golden Bow.
