Stormbringers — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Stormbringers is an underground-enabled Extra Large map of 144 by 144 tiles, rated Hard and built for the Shadow of Death version with the 2.1 patch required. Its author's description frames the story as a storm born of human conflict rather than nature. Eight players are placed, but only one can be human, so the other seven colors are computer-controlled and split into seven teams. The factions in play include Inferno, Castle, Conflux, Stronghold, Tower, Rampart, Dungeon, Fortress, and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the player loses if a specific town falls. Rock covers about a third of the land, with water, sand, and grass making up much of the rest. The map holds 21 towns, 35 heroes, 69 mines, 8 creature banks, and the Grail, along with several Chaos Hydra stacks and a Rust Dragon among the wandering monsters.
