16th Century War for Europe — SoD

The 16th Century War for Europe is a medium 72x72 surface map for Shadow of Death, built for eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams. Each player starts with a random faction and a hero, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. The map's theme is the rise of powerful empires in Europe, each pushing its borders at the expense of its neighbors. Water covers about 41 percent of the map, with subterranean, lava, and snow terrain making up much of the rest. Twelve towns are placed across the map, and wandering dragons of four kinds guard dwellings. The map includes one timed event. A player wins by defeating all enemies and loses when all their towns and heroes are gone.
