Gate to Hell — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gate to Hell is an extra large underground map for eight players, each of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Every player may choose any of the eight standard factions. The map's premise is that the Hell Gate has opened, but the Inferno town cannot send down Arch Devils because the Forsaken Palace was destroyed and the Arch Devils were slain by cursed Angels. Victory requires accumulating one Arch Devil, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly grass, dirt, rough and sand, with very little water. The map holds 25 towns, four starting heroes, 121 mines, 37 creature banks and 25 monoliths and portals. Notable features include 16 Sharpshooter stacks, several dragons, a placed Grail, and 150 random artifacts.

Author's description

At last, the Hell Gate has been opened, but the local Inferno town can't send down any Arch Devils because all of them were slain by some cursed Angels, also destroying the Forsaken Palace. Win great reputation and become a minion of Hell, if accumulating an Arch Devil.
