RoundAboutSOD — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
RoundAboutSOD is a Hard medium map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, built around a legend the author describes as drawn from Anglo-Saxon myth. The author's description says a great treasure lies deep in a swamp guarded by fearsome hydras, and magical knowledge lies in the underworld guarded by dragons, so only the strongest hero can claim either. Four players can all be human, split into two teams, with random factions for each color. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses when all towns and heroes are gone. The land is mostly rock and grass with a little swamp and no water. Nine towns are spread across the map, with twelve stacks of Chaos Hydras and four of Red Dragons among the wandering monsters, plus placed artifacts such as Angel Wings and Boots of Levitation.
