Lord of The Rings {3.0} — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Drawing on the Lord of the Rings theme, this extra large 144 by 144 map has an underground level and an expert rating. Eight player colors are available, but only one can be human, and the seven others are computer controlled. The eight players form three teams and use factions from Castle and Rampart to Necropolis, Inferno, and Fortress. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while losing a particular hero means defeat. Water covers about a quarter of the terrain. The map holds 44 towns, 124 mines, 46 creature banks, 34 monoliths and portals, and the Grail. Players should hold onto the rings, search for hidden objects, and read the commentary.
