Seeking for a princess — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This medium underground map, laid out on a 72 by 72 grid, centers on a ruler who needs a rare artifact to extend his life, and that artifact demands a special kind of royal blood. Two players are set up, but only one can be human, and the Blue Castle player is computer-controlled. The Red Necropolis player faces Blue with no teams. The terrain is mostly rock, with rough ground, grass, and swamp. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact before the 56-day limit expires, and heroes are capped at level 29. Notable features include four towns, four starting heroes, the Bird of Perception, the Ring of Vitality, 23 random artifacts, 18 mines, three seer huts, and two monoliths or portals.

Thant is now living for a bit more, but it's not enough! What would he do for ten years! Only thing he knows is to build an artifact with an old recepie which will help him to live forever. That artifact now needs some blood. Not any blood but virgin and royal blood.
