A Dragonsoft Map *No Return P* — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
No Return Possible is an extra large map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating, though the author describes it as easy and a true team game. Eight players can all be human and form two teams, choosing from Rampart, Castle, Conflux, Tower and Dungeon. Grass covers about a third of the land and water about a quarter, with swamp and rough ground making up much of the rest. The map holds 27 towns, 15 heroes, 93 mines, 14 seer huts and seven monoliths or portals. Placed artifacts include the Orb of Inhibition, the Elixir of Life and the Grail, and wandering trolls and battle dwarves roam in large numbers. Victory goes to whoever slays a particular monster the author singles out, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone.
