Heroes Lands. New Begining — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Heroes Lands. New Beginning is a large 108 by 108 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, played on the Impossible difficulty. Three colors take part, and only one can be human, so Red is the only color a person can play while Blue and Orange are controlled by the computer. There are no teams. Red plays Stronghold, Blue plays Tower and Necropolis, and Orange plays Rampart and Conflux. Victory comes from flagging every creature dwelling, and the game is lost if time runs out at 224 days. The land is mostly rock, with water, snow, and grass making up the rest. The map holds 44 towns and 118 mines, along with wandering stacks of Titans and Orc Chieftains, quest guards, and 16 monoliths and portals. Artifacts include Armageddon's Blade and the Angelic Alliance.
