[Blade] v1.04 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The [Blade] v1.04 map is a medium underground map for Shadow of Death, set on a 72 by 72 grid with no water and no teams. Rock covers most of the terrain, with sand, grass and lava making up the rest. Two human players, Blue and Orange, each receive a random faction, and the map has four towns. The author, Ancient, describes trimming some spells, heroes and secondary skills, altering the warrior heroes, and raising unit growth to balance the factions, and labels the map expert level. Players win by defeating all enemies and lose by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include thirty mines, ten creature banks, two monoliths or portals, and placed artifacts such as the Centaur's Axe and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords, with Cyclops Kings and Firebirds roaming the map.
