Thunderfist Mountain — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Thunderfist Mountain is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, set on a landscape made mostly of lava, rock and sand with no water. It is built for two players, but only one can be human, as the Blue side is controlled by the computer alone; both sides receive random factions and there are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map is tough, rated at the Impossible difficulty. Its story centers on a rivalry among candidates seeking entry into a secretive guild of dark sorcerers, framed as a final training duel. Players will find wandering monsters such as Magic Elementals, a Crystal Dragon, a Naga Queen and a Dread Knight, along with 316 random monster stacks, 46 creature banks, 38 mines and 68 randomly placed artifacts.
