Lost Kingdoms — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lost Kingdoms is an extra large map of 144 by 144 tiles, played on a single underground level and set for the Shadow of Death expansion at Impossible difficulty. An earthquake has split the land and opened the way into ancient kingdoms beneath the surface, and the goal is to press forward quickly, seize those realms, and hold them. Four players compete, each controlling one faction: Castle, Conflux, Tower, and Fortress. Every player is human, with no teams and no computer-only seats. Victory requires destroying all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Subterranean ground covers about a third of the map, with rock, sand, and water making up much of the rest. Nineteen towns, 133 mines, 156 creature banks, and 146 wandering monster stacks are scattered across the terrain, along with 68 random artifacts and four monoliths or portals.
