Six Fractions — SoD

Six Fractions is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for six players, each controlling one of the six classic factions, from Tower and Stronghold to Necropolis and Dungeon. There are no teams and no computer-only colors, so all six seats can be filled by humans. The map is played on impossible difficulty, and the win condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Almost half the ground is subterranean, with large areas of rough and sand terrain and some grass. The map holds 12 towns and many guarded sites, including 351 wandering monster stacks, 48 creature banks, 41 mines and 157 random artifacts. The description frames it as a war that grew out of the weakening of a once-unified empire.
