Heroes Lands - Defence — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Heroes Lands - Defence is a large Shadow of Death map measuring 108 by 108, set on the Impossible difficulty. Its story, as the author describes it, follows a vanguard led by Magister Sargon that has been cut off from the main army and must find a way to victory. Six players share the map in two teams, and only one human player can join, taking the Castle seat in Red. The other five colors are computer-controlled and play Necropolis, Fortress, Stronghold, Rampart with Conflux, and Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific hero falls. Water covers about 37 percent of the terrain. Notable features include the Grail, twelve Champion stacks and eight Black Dragon stacks among the wandering monsters, and artifacts such as Angel Wings and the Cape of Velocity.
