The Death of the Necromancer — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Death of the Necromancer is a medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles with an underground level, set for three players where only one can be human and the other two are computer-controlled. There are no teams. The factions are Tower for Red, Necropolis for Blue, and Stronghold for Tan. The map is built mostly from rock, with water covering about 15 percent of it, along with dirt and snow. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while losing a particular hero ends the game. The terrain holds five mines, three seer huts, and two quest guards, and visitors will meet wandering monsters such as a Horned Demon, an Arch Mage, and an Obsidian Gargoyle. Armageddon's Blade and the Ring of the Wayfarer are placed among the objects, and the map has five towns and six monoliths and portals.
