The Grail Race — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Grail Race is an extra large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for eight players, all of whom may be human, with no teams and every faction assigned at random. It is set on a wild landscape where water covers about a quarter of the ground and swamp, grass and rough terrain make up most of the rest. Players either build a Grail structure to win or eliminate every rival, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map is rated Impossible and is played on the Shadow of Death version. Across the land sit 17 towns, 12 starting heroes, 342 wandering monster stacks, 77 mines, 26 monoliths and portals, and 128 random artifacts, with the Grail itself hidden somewhere on the map.
