Masters of the elements — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Masters of the Elements is an extra large underground map for six human-capable players in two teams, played on Impossible difficulty. Its premise is that elemental lords vowed never to fight one another, but their influence eventually covers the entire surface, so they turn to the Underground, a realm ruled by one monster who alone wiped out all his neighbors. Players take Inferno, Tower, Rampart, Stronghold, Dungeon, or Tower. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers 29 percent of the map and rock nearly half of it. Notable features include 22 towns, 88 mines, 14 creature banks, 17 monoliths and portals, the Grail, and wandering Archangels and Magic Elementals.

Author's description

Жили-были повелители стихий, которые поклялись никогда не нападать на друг друга. Но вот, после очередного похода оказалось, что вся поверхность земли уже охвачена их влиянием. И устремили они свои взоры в Подземелье, котрым безраздельно владел один монстр, в одиночку уничтоживший всех соседей.
