* The Darkside * — SoD

The Darkside is a two-player medium map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, set on land where volcanoes are erupting and the terrain is breaking apart. Two kingdoms fight to the death for control, and the map is built for a head-to-head match with no teams. Both sides may be played by humans, and both can choose from the same eight towns, ranging from Castle to Fortress. The terrain is mostly rock and lava, with dirt and a smaller share of water. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Notable features include a Gold Golem wandering the map, a placed Endless Bag of Gold, twenty random artifacts, and eighteen mines. Dwellings hold Beholders, Orcs, and Earth Elementals.
