(NC-1) Rise of the King — SoD

Set in the Northlands, this medium surface map covers 72 by 72 tiles and casts the player against barbarian forces that have united under a former Magic University student who now commands the winds. It is rated hard and supports three players, with up to two controlled by humans, while the blue side is computer-only. There are no teams. Red plays Castle, Blue mixes Castle, Tower and Stronghold, and Tan plays Stronghold. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses if one specific hero falls. About a quarter of the land is water. Nine towns, four starting heroes capped at level six, and 22 mines support the campaign, and the Crown of the Supreme Magi, Necklace of Dragonteeth and Rib Cage lie on the map. Wandering Goblins, Ogres and Cyclops roam the roads.
