The golden volcano — SoD

The Golden Volcano is a medium-sized map on a 72 by 72 surface level, built for four players who each control one hero and may all be human. There are no teams, and every player starts with a random faction, so the matchups are not fixed. The victory condition is to defeat all enemies, and a player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. Impossible difficulty applies. Roughly five percent of the surface is water, with grass, dirt, rough ground and lava making up most of the rest. The author's description sets the scene of four armies at war over scarce space and resources, until a volcano rises from the ocean and pours out gold. The map holds 12 towns, 36 placed artifacts, 34 mines, four creature banks, and 182 wandering monster stacks, with Azure, Crystal, Faerie and Rust Dragons appearing in dwellings.
