Legions — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Legions is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, rated Expert. Eight human players can take part, grouped into four teams, and each color starts with a different faction, from Inferno and Tower to Necropolis and Fortress. The backdrop is a two-century conflict between Heaven and Hell over the land of Ramlania, and players pick a side, including the neutral options. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, and lava, with about eleven percent water. The map holds 28 towns and 124 mines, with wandering stacks such as Vampire Lords and War Unicorns, and several named artifacts, including Armageddon's Blade, are placed across it. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero.

Author's description

Heaven and Hell have been at war for over two hundred years.The only way for either side to win is by conquering Ramlania. Now you must deside which side to join, the forces of good, the legions of evil, or maybe one of the mighty neutrals.
