Heroes 4 — SoD

Heroes 4 is a medium-sized underground-capable map for six players in the Shadow of Death setting, set on a 72 by 72 grid, with each player controlling one of six factions, and no teams and no human-free colors. The author's description frames the story as a world reached after a fateful clash between two legendary blades, where heroes arrive and must rebuild their own castles. Players choose among Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Dungeon, Castle, and Necropolis, and all six seats can be human. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player is eliminated once they lose all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, grass, dirt, and rough ground, with about seven percent water. Notable features include six towns, a range of wandering monsters, twelve creature dwellings, several placed artifacts, dozens of mines, and many guarded quests.
