Argo a Gogo — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Argo a Gogo is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, built for Shadow of Death and rated hard. Eight players can take part, but only one seat can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled with no teams. Red, Green and Teal play Castle, Blue plays Dungeon, Tan plays Inferno, Orange and Pink play Rampart, and Purple's faction is random. Rock and dirt cover most of the terrain, with water making up about a fifth. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map holds 35 towns, 44 heroes and the Grail, along with many wandering Water Elementals and Gold Dragons.
