A Dracolish Helmet (SoD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This Shadow of Death scenario is set on an extra large 144 by 144 underground level at the Impossible difficulty. Eight players take part, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. The factions include Stronghold, Dungeon, Tower, Inferno, Fortress, and Conflux, with two players using Necropolis. Victory requires eliminating every enemy, and the scenario is lost if the time limit of 336 days runs out. Water covers about a quarter of the terrain and rock about a fifth. The map holds 23 towns, 12 heroes, 105 mines, and the Grail, along with artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Boots of Speed. Wandering Titans and Wraiths roam the land.
