2 Friends — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Two Friends is an extra large, two-level map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 tiles and set partly underground. It supports six player colors, though only two can be human, and the four computer-only colors are split into teams with the human players. The factions in play are Castle, Rampart, Inferno, Dungeon, Tower, and Necropolis, one per color. Victory requires capturing one particular town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map is rated Expert, and its terrain is mostly rock, subterranean ground, water, and dirt. Wandering Azure and Rust Dragons, Titans, and Sharpshooters roam the land, and the Grail is placed on the map. Many quests, guarded locations, and placed artifacts are scattered throughout.
