Secret Place — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Secret Place is a medium 72 by 72 map for four players, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only seats. It includes an underground level and is set at Normal difficulty. The map is built mostly from rock and grass, with sand and some subterranean ground. Each player starts with a different stronghold: Tower for Red, Rampart for Blue, Dungeon for Tan, and Inferno for Green. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated once they lose every town and hero. The map holds twelve towns, a Grail, fourteen randomly placed artifacts, twenty-seven mines, and six monoliths and portals. Wandering monsters include many Unicorn stacks, a few War Unicorns, an Archer, and an Azure Dragon. Creature dwellings range from Centaurs and Golems to Hell Hounds and Harpies.
