The Dream Master — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Dream Master is an extra large map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level included. Set in a land reduced to ashes, it follows heroes who rise against a dark foe to free the fantasy world. It is built for the Shadow of Death version and rated expert. Four players can take part, with two human seats and two computer-only colors, Tan and Green, and there are no fixed teams. The factions are Dungeon, Conflux, Rampart, and Castle. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 37 percent of the surface, with rock, dirt, and grass making up the rest. Five towns, 28 mines, 12 creature banks, and 114 random monster stacks fill the land, alongside two monoliths and portals and artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and the Endless Sack of Gold.
