Recruitment — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Recruitment is a large two-player map on a 108 by 108 surface landscape of grass, dirt, and snow, with only a small share of water. It is rated expert and allows at most one human player, while the computer controls the Tower-based Red side against Blue, which can field Castle, Rampart, and Necropolis forces. There are no teams. Victory requires amassing 1200 halberdiers, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. The map contains 14 towns, 28 mines, 10 creature banks, and 4 seer huts, with wandering griffins, unicorns, and hell hounds roaming the land. Placed artifacts include the Cape of Velocity, the Centaur's Axe, and the Legs of Legion. Heroes are capped at level 18, and the map is built for the Shadow of Death version.
