The BEST spell... — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This underground map is a medium-sized battlefield of 72 by 72 tiles, rated hard, for three players who may all be human and who compete without teams. Each player starts with a random faction, and victory comes from defeating every enemy, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Rock and grass make up most of the terrain, with lava and water covering the rest. The author describes it as a first attempt at making a map. Notable features include the Grail, fourteen monoliths and portals for moving around the map, four towns, two mines, and wandering stacks of Minotaur Kings alongside creature banks and dwellings.
