221 b. Baker St. — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
221 B. Baker St. is an Extra Large, 144 by 144, underground map for Shadow of Death, rated Expert. Its name points to a famous detective's address, and the author's note, paraphrased, says that once the impossible is ruled out, whatever remains must be the truth. Eight colors take part across seven teams. Only one human player is allowed, and the other seven colors are computer-controlled. The factions include Rampart, Necropolis, Castle, Inferno, Dungeon, Tower, Conflux, Stronghold, and Fortress. Water covers about a quarter of the land and lava about a fifth, with snow and grass making up much of the rest. Players win by defeating all enemies and lose if a specific hero falls. The map has 26 towns, 46 mines, and 30 monoliths and portals, along with wandering monsters such as Cyclops Kings and Crystal Dragons. Among the placed artifacts is the Crown of the Supreme Magi.
