Ascension — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Ascension is an Extra Large surface map of 144 by 144 tiles, playable in Shadow of Death at Normal difficulty with a hero level cap of 20. Six players share the map in three teams, with one human seat and five computer-controlled colors. The factions include Inferno, Castle, two Strongholds, Fortress, and a Purple player with Tower, Necropolis, and Dungeon. Lava covers about 41 percent of the terrain, followed by sand, rough ground, and snow, and there is no water. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player is defeated after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 48 towns, 104 mines, 28 creature banks, 19 monoliths and portals, and wandering stacks of Devils and Arch Devils. A Tunic of the Cyclops King is placed as an artifact. The author's note is a short verse about mountains that no one has climbed.
