Илья Муромец и Змей — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ilya Muromets and the Serpent is a small Shadow of Death map measuring 36 by 36, set on an underground level at Normal difficulty. It draws on a Russian folk tale about a hero who defends his land from a dragon. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls. Four players share two teams, but only one seat can be human, while the Tan, Green and Orange colors are computer-controlled. Red plays Castle, Tan mixes Castle, Dungeon and Fortress, Green is Rampart, and Orange is Necropolis. Snow, swamp and grass cover most of the land. Notable features include the Grail, an Azure Dragon dwelling, and the Everpouring Vial of Mercury and Pendant of Life artifacts, with several dragons wandering the map.

Author's description

Русская ненародная сказка. Сказка ложь, да в ней намёк, Добрым молодцам урок! Илья Муромец от Змея Русь спасал! Как умел, я здесь про это написал. Но, теперь зависит только от тебя, Сможет ли побить врагов Илья. Сможет ли Грааль он возвести, От напасти землю русскую спасти?
