Speed — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Speed is a medium two-player map with an underground level, rated hard, that is built around a race to reach a treasure site hidden below ground, while a sign warns of dragons along the way. The 72 by 72 battlefield is roughly a third rock and nearly a third water, with subterranean and dirt areas making up the rest of the playable ground. Two warlords, Red and Blue, start with random factions. Only one human player can take part, so Blue is controlled by the computer. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Three towns and a large number of mines are scattered across the map, along with wandering dragons, enchanters, and creature banks. Several powerful artifacts, including Armageddon's Blade and the Titan's Gladius, are placed on the map.

Author's description

In this area, it was rumoured that there were mysterious and rewarding treasures underground. Two warlords rushed to see who could get them first. But the sign read, "Beware of the dragons." Should you sprint to the destination immediately? Or start later, go faster, and slay the enemy?"
