Battle for the World-Beginning — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle for the World-Beginning is a medium-sized 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating. Eight rival states share a fairly small territory, and each must raise an army, break through its neighbours' borders and destroy the opposing forces. All eight seats can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colours. The factions are Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon and Fortress, one per player. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 17 towns, 108 mines, 245 randomly placed artifacts and 12 seer huts, along with 11 water elemental stacks and several dragons and a phoenix roaming the land.
