8th{RoCh} - (Allies) 1.62f — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Set in an underground-capable map of medium size (72x72), this Shadow of Death scenario gives eight players one faction each, arranged in three teams, with all eight seats playable by humans. The rules are simple: a side wins by eliminating every enemy, and loses once it has no towns and no heroes left. Water covers about a quarter of the terrain, with subterranean, grass and lava areas making up much of the rest. The 11 towns span the eight factions, from Tower and Castle to Inferno and Necropolis, and the surface and underground levels are both in use. Notable features include eight wandering water elementals, roaming stacks of skeletons and crusaders, several artifacts placed around the map, 60 mines, and 17 monoliths and portals. The difficulty is set to Impossible.
