Duelists(SOD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Duelists is a medium-sized underground map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, built for Shadow of Death and rated hard. Six players take part, with up to two controlled by humans and the other four colors (Red, Blue, Green and Teal) left to the computer. There are no teams, and every player's faction is random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The land is roughly half rock, with about a fifth water, and it contains 14 towns, 30 mines, and a Grail. Notable finds include wandering Giants, Chaos Hydras, Ancient Behemoths, and a number of placed artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and the Orb of the Firmament. The author describes a looming war, with traitors to crush and great monsters to win as allies.
