Army of Darkness — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Army of Darkness is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 and rated Expert. One human can join five seats, with four colors run by the computer, and there are no teams. Towns struggle against hordes of undead and Inferno minions, and the much larger forces of BadAsh, a hero as strong as the player, must be defeated through careful planning. Rock covers about 48 percent of the land and water 29 percent. Armies span Castle, Rampart, Tower, Fortress, Stronghold, Conflux, and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while losing every town and hero ends the game. Highlights include the Grail, 45 mines, 27 creature banks, and 9 monoliths and portals.

Author's description

The Towns are developing but have been held back by hordes of undead and minions of the Inferno. Careful strategy is the only way to defeat the much larger forces led by BadAsh, a hero as powerful as you and a veteran of the many battles that have been fought over this land.
