To Hire Heroes II (The Sequel) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

To Hire Heroes II is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, rated Expert. It is a sequel in which a returning hero, Black Marauder, along with his companions Angelika and Zendy, faces a group of followers of the late Sandro, who have joined forces against them. Eight players share the map, with up to three human players and five computer-only colors, split into two teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold (used twice), Rampart, and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about a quarter of the map, with subterranean and rock terrain making up much of the rest. Seventeen towns, 109 mines, 36 monoliths and portals, and the Grail are placed across the map, and wandering dragons roam among the 222 random monster stacks.
