The Fort of Laeiron Empire — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Set on the Kyel Nor' isles, this extra large Shadow of Death map sends a small force to seize Coeleaden, the last bastion of the Laeiron Empire. The 144 by 144 underground-enabled map is about a quarter water, with rock, subterranean areas and grass making up most of the rest. Eight players compete on Impossible difficulty, with seven computer colors and room for one human; there are no teams. Factions are Castle, Dungeon, Stronghold, Tower, Necropolis, Fortress, Inferno and random. Victory means capturing a specific town, and a player is defeated by losing all towns and heroes. Expect 24 towns, 92 mines, 32 creature banks and the Grail, plus Boots of Speed and Azure Dragons among other features.
