Necromancer the King — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Necromancer the King is a large underground map for three players, each playing a single faction: Rampart for Red, Tower for Blue, and Necropolis for Teal. It covers a 108 by 108 grid and has no teams, so every player fights alone, and all three slots are human. The author's note frames it as a story where two northern armies must gather magical artifacts and face a powerful necromancer before they can take on the king. The victory condition is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Terrain is mostly rock, with about a fifth water and sizable rough ground. Each side starts with three heroes and nine towns across the map. Expect wandering monster stacks, creature dwellings, mines, and a set of placed artifacts including the Helm of Chaos and the Golden Bow. The difficulty is set to expert.
