Asterix (С) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Asterix is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level. The title and the author's note refer to the asterisk symbol, which goes by many nicknames across programming languages. Eight seats are split between two teams, with at most two human players and six colors left to the computer. Factions in play include Inferno, Castle, Necropolis, Tower, Conflux, Dungeon and Rampart. Water covers about 29 percent of the map, and rock, subterranean and dirt terrain make up most of the rest. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and a player loses after all towns and heroes are gone. The map has 16 towns, 45 mines, 17 monoliths and portals, and a placed Grail, along with roaming Ice Elemental and Azure Dragon stacks.
