[Blade] v1.51 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

[Blade] v1.51 is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and mostly rock and sand terrain. One human player faces a computer-controlled Blue opponent, and there are no teams. The human side may choose from all eight factions, while Blue's faction is random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds four towns, four Firebird wandering stacks, and six placed legendary artifacts, including the Arms of Legion and the Spirit of Oppression. Its creature dwellings include Gold and Diamond Golems, and it offers 26 mines, eight seer huts, and eight creature banks. The author's notes describe a rebalanced design with some spells, heroes, and secondary skills removed and higher creature growth.
