Rise of the Open Phoenix — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Rise of the Open Phoenix is a large underground map of 108 by 108 for up to four human players at normal difficulty, with random factions and no teams. The First Phoenix has returned and disrupted a long war between two groups of lords. Slaying it would bring great renown, and if one allied side succeeds, the other is expected to give up and submit. Victory requires defeating a specific monster, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, dirt, and snow dominate the terrain, with lava patches and very little water. Twelve towns, 69 mines, and 64 random artifacts are spread across it, and wandering stacks include Crystal Dragons, Wood Elves, and Phoenixes.

Author's description

The First Phoenix has risen again in this region of the world, interrupting a long-standing war between two sets of lords. Defeating the First Phoenix would be a great honor, and if one allied side were to do so the other side would surely give up the fight and bow down to the victors.
