The New Courthouse — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The New Courthouse is a hard two-player map on a medium 72 by 72 surface level, about 72 percent water with the rest mostly grass and sand. Red plays Rampart and Green plays Inferno, with no teams. The premise is that a king has set aside a remote archipelago for settling disputes, and each side starts on its own small island with a call to gather forces quickly. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Wandering monsters include Wyvern Monarchs, Rocs and Trolls, and the map also holds Azure Dragon, Crystal Dragon and Enchanter dwellings, 18 mines and five timed events.
