Manifest Destiny(SOD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Manifest Destiny is a small 36 by 36 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, rated Hard, for up to eight players, all of whom can be human. There are no teams and no computer-only colors, so every seat is a free-for-all. Each player starts with a different town type, covering Rampart, Stronghold, Castle, Tower, Necropolis, Fortress, Dungeon and Inferno. The map is mostly subterranean and dirt ground, with swamp and rough patches and very little water. Victory comes from flagging all the mines, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds eight towns, sixteen mines and sixteen creature banks, along with forty wandering monster stacks, twenty-four randomly placed artifacts, one Seer hut and a timed event. The author's theme is a crowded region where only one kingdom should rule.

Author's description

The neighboring lands have become increasingly more crowded. Only one kingdom is fit to rule the others. It is time to show the other petty nobles it is your manifest destiny to rule this land.
