The Great War — SoD

The Great War is an extra large, two-level map for eight players, with every player able to be human and three teams in play. Each side fields one of the eight standard towns: Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon, Necropolis, Fortress and Inferno. The author describes a long-standing balance between good, neutral and evil that ends in a full conquest, so victory means defeating all enemies and a player loses when every town and hero is gone. Rock covers about 37 percent of the terrain and water about 10 percent. Notable features include 37 towns, two starting heroes, and wandering threats such as Black Dragons, Phoenixes, an Archangel and a Chaos Hydra. The map also holds 3 Ice Elementals, 125 mines, 40 monoliths and portals, and placed artifacts like Armageddon's Blade. Difficulty is set to Expert.
