Bethany Island V1.0 (SOD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Bethany Island V1.0 is an Extra Large Shadow of Death map laid out on 144 by 144 tiles with an underground level. It is set for eight players, all of whom can be human, arranged into four teams. Each side plays a different faction, from Dungeon and Rampart to Castle and Fortress. The author's blurb describes a land ruined by feuding princes and a demon called Mephistopheles, who must be destroyed to restore order. Victory comes from capturing one specific town, while a player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. Rock, water, and subterranean ground make up most of the terrain. The map holds 25 towns and 16 starting heroes, with wandering Wights, Beholders, and Iron Golems, plus a Grail and 40 random artifacts.
