Archipelag — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Archipelag is a large Shadow of Death map of 108 by 108 tiles with an underground level, rated hard. Eight players start on it, with up to six controlled by humans, and the Purple and Pink colors are computer-only. The players form six teams, and the factions are Castle, Fortress, Necropolis, Rampart, Tower, and three Dungeon players. The author describes a world where many kinds of creatures once lived together peacefully, until rival rulers went to war, and suggests that lasting peace will return only when someone claims the Grail. A player wins by building a Grail structure and loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 27 percent of the map, with rock, lava, and subterranean terrain making up most of the rest. The map holds 21 towns, 11 starting heroes, and the Grail itself, along with 68 random monster stacks and many mines.
