Heroes Lands. New Begining — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Heroes Lands. New Begining is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, built for Shadow of Death and rated Impossible. In the author's story, an Orc god urges Sir Gorbik to push east and south into a land of snow and ice, where he is to join with mages and men and found the Lands of Heroes. Three players share the map, but only one seat, Red, can be human. Blue and Orange are computer-only. There are no teams. Red plays Stronghold, Blue plays Tower and Necropolis, and Orange plays Rampart and Conflux. Victory requires flagging every creature dwelling, and the game is lost if 224 days pass. Rock covers about 45 percent of the terrain, with smaller shares of water, snow and grass. The map includes 44 towns, 118 mines, 23 creature banks, and 16 monoliths and portals, along with artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade.
