Terre du Milieu — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Terre du Milieu is an extra large underground map for eight players, each controlling one of the eight factions listed, with all eight slots open to humans and no teams or computer-only colors. The board is 144 by 144 tiles and is mostly rock, with dirt, water and rough ground scattered between. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated once all of their towns and heroes are lost. The author's note invites players to pick a side among several Middle-earth regions, offering a choice of heroes from different realms. Notable finds include a number of dragons and guard stacks roaming the map, five named artifacts placed on the board, and a set of mines, creature banks and monoliths. The map is rated Hard.
