The War (Shadow) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The War (Shadow) is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles, set for four players, each able to be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes a world split into four countries and one underground cave, with each player ruling one land and launching a war for control. Difficulty is rated Expert. Factions are random for Red, Blue, Tan and Green. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, with grass, sand and snow making up much of the rest and water covering only a sliver. Ten towns and one starting hero are placed, with many guarded dwellings holding strong creatures such as dragons, angels and devils. Nine named artifacts appear on the map, along with 35 random ones, 31 mines and 17 creature banks.
