Legions — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Legions is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, designed for Shadow of Death and set at expert difficulty. Eight players can all be human, grouped into four teams, with each player starting as a different faction: Inferno, Tower, Dungeon, Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Conflux, or Fortress. The backstory describes a long conflict between Heaven and Hell over Ramlania, and players must decide whether to side with good, evil, or the neutrals. Rock, grass, and lava cover most of the land, while water makes up about eleven percent. The map holds 28 towns, 124 mines, and 16 monoliths and portals, along with artifacts such as the Head of Legion and many random finds. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes.

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.
