Abandoned — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The map Abandoned is an Extra Large 144 by 144 underground map for Shadow of Death, set at Expert difficulty. Its author describes a great treasure left behind in the Underworld, with the goal of reaching it first, destroying rivals, and claiming powerful artifacts. Eight players share the map, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side fields a different town type, from Inferno and Castle to Necropolis and Rampart. A player wins by defeating every enemy, and loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock and subterranean ground cover most of the surface, with grass, sand, and a little water between them. Players will find 23 towns, 80 mines, 62 random artifacts, four Tomes of magic, and ten monoliths and portals, plus Dragon Flies, a Phoenix, and a Magic Elemental roaming the map.
