A la Recherche du Corps Perdu — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A la Recherche du Corps Perdu is a large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108. According to the author, the Grand Namgid was killed long ago by Gem, and the necromancer Finneas sets out to recover the Legendary Warrior's body while making his way past the great powers that control the land. The map is rated Expert and supports two players, with one human seat and a computer-controlled Teal side; there are no teams. Red plays Necropolis, and Teal fields Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and Fortress. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 46 percent of the terrain and water about 15 percent. Wandering monsters include a Red Dragon and a Chaos Hydra, and placed artifacts include the Angelic Alliance and the Orb of Silt.
