AstralWar1map — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

AstralWar1map is an extra large, 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and Impossible difficulty. It supports eight players, with one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors split into two teams. The factions are Tower, Conflux, Inferno, Necropolis, and Fortress, with Conflux appearing most often. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and the game is lost if the time limit runs out first. The terrain is mostly rock, with patches of grass, water, and dirt. Eighteen towns, 45 mines, and 43 creature banks are spread across the map, along with the Grail, 14 monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Angelic Alliance and the Hourglass of the Evil Hour. Dwellings hold strong creatures, including Bone Dragons and Behemoths.
