Battle of the Elements — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Battle of the Elements is a large 108 by 108 map for Shadow of Death, with underground levels and normal difficulty. Five colors compete, but Pink is reserved for the computer and plays as Conflux, so up to four humans can take part. There are no fixed teams. The author's description says the four elements shaped the land and invites each player to pick one magic school, Fire, Earth, Air, or Water, and defeat the rest. Victory comes from acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with water around a fifth and smaller areas of lava and subterranean ground. Notable features include the four Orbs and four Tomes of magic, eighteen monoliths and portals, and roughly 170 random monster stacks.
