A Long Way — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
A Long Way is an extra-large Shadow of Death scenario measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It is built for eight players, with only one human seat, and the seven computer-controlled colors are split into two teams. The human player takes Lord Haart's side, and the scenario is lost if he is defeated in combat. Victory requires finding the Grail and constructing a Grail building in a town on the map. The terrain is dominated by swamp, with water, rough ground and grass making up much of the rest. Scattered across the land are wandering monsters such as hydras, dragons, golems and titans, along with guarded artifacts, Seer huts, mines and portals. Factions range from Inferno and Conflux to Stronghold and Tower, depending on the player.
