Bards Tale: Phantom Menege I — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Bards Tale: Phantom Menege I is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, partly set underground. Its premise is a veteran mercenary trying to leave the guild, which refuses to let go, while five rival clans seek a reward for the hero's head. The map is built for eight players, with one human seat at most and seven computer colors in two teams. Factions are Dungeon, Inferno, Rampart, Fortress, Tower, Stronghold, Necropolis and Conflux, and difficulty is set to Impossible. Victory means defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Water covers about a third of the map and subterranean terrain nearly half. Notable features include 21 towns, 14 monoliths and portals, artifacts such as the Cornucopia and the Endless Sack of Gold, and many wandering imps.
