A Close Call — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Close Call is a large underground-enabled map of 108 by 108 tiles for four players, with up to three human participants and the Green seat left to the computer. It runs on the Shadow of Death version at Normal difficulty, and there are no teams. The seats are Castle for Red, Fortress for Blue, Tower for Tan, and Inferno for Green. The author's description casts the Demon Xeron as the villain trying to take the continent, and the only route to victory is capturing his main castle, Hell. Winning means building a Grail structure, and a player is eliminated when they lose all their towns and heroes. The landscape is mostly rock, with subterranean, grass and lava ground, and about seven percent water. Ten towns, five starting heroes, and a Grail are on the map, along with sixty mines and a set of placed artifacts.
