Army of Darkness — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Army of Darkness is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, set for Expert difficulty and played by up to five players, with only one human seat and four computer-only colors. There are no fixed teams. The factions in play range across Castle, Rampart, Tower, Fortress, Stronghold, Conflux, and Necropolis, depending on the player. The victory condition is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers roughly half the terrain and water about a third. The map is built around a large undead and infernal presence, with wandering Gold Golems, Crystal Dragons, Pit Lords, and Medusa Queens among the roaming forces, and the Grail is placed somewhere on the map. The author describes a story in which the young towns are pressed by undead and demonic hordes, led by a powerful hero named BadAsh.
