Hand of Fate (sod) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hand of Fate is an extra large underground-enabled map of 144 by 144 tiles for eight players, split into four teams, with every player able to be human. Water covers most of the surface, with grass, rough ground and sand making up the rest, and islands keep each kingdom separated until monoliths and portals link the lands and make the journey hard to predict. The eight players take the Inferno, Rampart, Tower, Fortress, Stronghold, Dungeon, Castle and Necropolis towns, and the map is rated Expert. Victory comes from eliminating every enemy, and a player loses after all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 30 towns, 105 mines, 41 monoliths and portals, 39 random artifacts, 22 creature banks, eight seer huts, and two Azure Dragon stacks roaming as wandering monsters.

Author's description

Islands isolate the kingdoms from each other. The monoliths however link the lands and make your quest unpredictable. Watch your back and eliminate your enemies before they eliminate you.
