Overview

First Blood 2.0 is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, rated Impossible. Four players can take part, with at most one human, and Red, Green and Purple are computer-controlled. Red plays Dungeon, Blue Castle, Green Rampart and Purple Necropolis, grouped into three teams. Human forces, allied with barbarians, face an alliance of elves, mages and swamp folk, while undead and an underground king wait for a weakened opponent to strike. Victory means defeating all enemies, and losing one specific hero ends the game. Rock covers 39 percent of the terrain. The map holds 48 towns, 133 mines and the Grail, plus the Sphere of Permanence.
