Hell Bursts — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hell Bursts is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles set on an expert difficulty level. Eight players compete, with up to seven controlled by humans and the Red player handled by the computer alone, and there are no teams. Each side fields one of the eight factions: Inferno, Tower, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Conflux, Rampart, and Dungeon. Fiery corruption has scorched the land, and the only remedy is transporting a legendary artifact once worn by the realm's greatest hero. Time runs out after 224 days, which ends the game in a loss. Highlights include 24 towns, 307 random monster stacks, and 65 monoliths and portals.

Author's description

The lands are charred straight through the middle by the chaotic malefice of the burning hells. There is only one way of stopping this disasterous onslaught. The Cape of the Undead King, the artifact once worn by the single most powerful hero these lands have ever seen, is able to make them flee.
