The Undead need another hour — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large 108 by 108 surface map is a single-player scenario on the Hard setting, with no teams and no computer opponents. The player controls a Necropolis hero, and the author's description, paraphrased, follows an undead figure who has only a year to live and hunts for an hourglass that could freeze time and buy years for a longer quest. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and the game is lost if the 336-day limit expires. The land is mostly grass, sand, swamp and dirt, with very little water. Nine towns, six heroes, 63 mines, 48 creature banks and 41 monoliths and portals are scattered across it, along with Green Dragon and Nomad dwellings and several placed artifacts.

Author's description

Thant lived so long yet he is dying. He is alive too long for an undead. How to live forever? He don't know. But he knows that he will be alive for just a year. He is chasing for the Hourglass of the Evil Hour to freeze the time, and live at least ten years more chasing for the eternal life.
