Heroes of Might, Not Magic — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Heroes of Might, Not Magic is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level. An evil sorcerer has drained the land's magic into a single vial, and the towns must set aside their rivalries and unite to stop him, though each believes it would govern better alone. Six players can take part, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only seats. Five colors each receive all eight towns, while Blue gets a random town. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero. Subterranean ground covers about a third of the map, with grass and rock making up most of the rest. The map holds 58 mines, 10 seer huts, 10 creature banks, and 135 random monster stacks, along with artifacts such as the Shield of the Dwarven Lords and the Thunder Helmet.

Author's description

An evil sorcerer has siphoned all the magic from this land into his Vial of Dragon Blood. The only way to get the magic back is to unite all the towns in battle against him. However, each town thinks they can rule this land better than the other.
