Neighbors v2.1 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Neighbors v2.1 is a small two-player map on a 36 by 36 underground level, rated hard, for the Shadow of Death expansion. The Green player fields Rampart and the Purple player fields Necropolis, and both sides are human, with no computer-only colors and no teams. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Subterranean ground covers about a third of the map, with rough terrain, rock, and water making up much of the rest. Each side has a town, and the map holds a Grail, along with placed artifacts such as the Boots of Speed, the Cape of Velocity, and the Vial of Dragon Blood. Wandering Harpy Hags, Infernal Troglodytes, and Gold Golems are among the more common guards, and the author frames the contest as a race for the Grail against a close rival.

Author's description

Neighbors are annoying, damned annoying. Especially when they live right next door and you have absolutely nothing in common with them. Well maybe that's not true--you're both searching for that ultimate legendary artifact, The Grail, and finding it will ensure their destruction...
