There Be Dragons! — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

There Be Dragons! is an extra large map of 144 by 144 tiles, played on the surface only, for eight players with up to seven human participants, with one color reserved for the computer. No teams are set, and each side fields a different town: Stronghold, Rampart, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, two Towers, and Conflux. The land is mostly dirt, grass, rough ground and snow, with no water. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The map is laced with dragon dwellings that hold Green and Red Dragons, along with many wandering stacks of imps, gremlins and hobgoblins. Players will find eighteen towns, sixty creature banks, sixty-eight monoliths and portals, and a good number of mines and seer huts, plus a set of named artifacts and many random ones.
