Epoch II — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Epoch II is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, designed for eight players, only one of whom can be human. The other seven are computer-controlled, and no teams are set. The story follows a hero sent north to put down a troll uprising in a land reshaped by volcanic eruptions, where a hasty return ends with a grounding in the Deadlands. Red plays Inferno, Blue Castle, Tan Conflux, and Purple Fortress, while the remaining four colors are random. Water covers about 31 percent of the terrain and rock about 25 percent. The map holds 17 towns and a Grail structure, and it includes dragon-themed artifacts such as the Crown of Dragontooth. Victory comes from building the Grail structure, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls.
