Return of the Alliance — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Return of the Alliance is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level. It is built for six players in three teams, and all six seats can be human. The factions are Castle, Stronghold, Rampart, Necropolis, Dungeon, and Conflux, one per player, and the difficulty is set to Expert. The author's description recalls a time when darkness ruled, and a coalition of the light kingdoms formed to fight it, only to fall apart without a winner. Water covers about half the terrain, with grass, sand, and rough ground making up most of the rest. Azure Dragons are the most common roaming threat, and the Power of the Dragon Father is among the placed artifacts. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out after 168 days.
