Little war — SoD

Little War is a small 36 by 36 underground map rated hard, designed for up to eight players, with at most four held by humans and the other four colors run by the computer. The author's description frames it as a brief conflict in which four kingdoms have retreated behind their border gates and left keyholders in the underworld, asking who will venture below first. Red, Blue, Tan and Green may choose from eight factions, while the computer colors receive random ones, and the eight players form five teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The land is half grass, with rock and subterranean terrain making up the rest, and there is no water. Eight towns, four starting heroes, 24 random monster stacks, seven random artifacts, 22 mines, eight creature banks and two timed events are spread across the map.
