A New Enemy — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

A New Enemy is an extra large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a hard rating. All eight players can be human, each controlling one of the eight towns from Castle to Dungeon, and the players are divided into three teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 30 percent of the land, with water near 17 percent, grass 12 percent, and subterranean ground 10 percent. The creator describes a densely detailed layout with many areas and subquests, plus strong guards along the borders to discourage early rushing. The map holds 36 towns, 25 heroes, 62 creature banks, 87 mines, and 14 seer huts, along with artifacts such as Armageddon's Blade and Boots of Speed.
