Island King — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Island King is a large 108 by 108 map for seven players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and every faction set to random. The author describes a kingdom whose ruler has died, leaving seven sons who each claim the throne and gather supporters for war. Water covers about 42 percent of the map, with grass, dirt and swamp making up most of the remaining land, and it is played on the surface only. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include eleven named artifacts, such as the Bow of Elven Cherrywood and the Legs of Legion, along with twenty random artifacts, nine towns, forty-six mines, and seventeen creature banks, one of which is guarded by a pixie wanderer.

Author's description

The king has died. He left seven sons and each of them feels entitled to the throne. The rivalry between them is heating up to a battle rage as they gather their supporters and rally them to their causes. The kingdom will surely fragment if the issue of the succession is not decided soon.
