In the name of the King — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The map In the name of the King is a large underground-enabled scenario set across a 108 by 108 battlefield, rated hard and built for one human player against one computer-controlled side. The human player leads the Pink forces, drawing on Necropolis and Fortress, while the computer commands Green with Castle and Rampart. There are no teams. Victory comes from amassing 4000 creatures, which is the standard winning condition, and defeat follows the loss of a specific hero. Heroes may grow to level 21. The land is mostly rock and dirt, with grass and about 7 percent water, and the map holds ten towns, nine pre-placed heroes, and a set of named artifacts, a Wizard's Well and several monoliths and portals. Expect wandering monsters, fifty mines, and five creature banks, among other objects.
