A River Runs Thru it. — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
This Shadow of Death map at Hard difficulty follows a young ruler who sets out to explore the surrounding land after hearing rumors of the Grail. It spans an extra large 144 by 144 grid with underground levels, and it is built mostly from rock and grass. Six players start, with five seats open to humans and Pink reserved for the computer, and there are no teams. The factions are Conflux for Red, Fortress for Blue, Tower for Tan, Castle for Green, Dungeon for Orange, and Necropolis for Pink. Players win by building a Grail structure and lose once they have no towns or heroes left. Eighteen towns, 74 mines, and the Grail are scattered across the land.
