Boomerang(SOD) — SoD

Boomerang is a medium 72x72 Shadow of Death map for two players, with one human player per side and no teams, set on the surface with no underground level. Red and Blue each start with a random faction, and the victory condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Grass covers half the map and water about a third, with sand and dirt filling the rest. The author notes that most routes wind around the boomerang-shaped landmass, but a teleport and a water crossing offer shortcuts that carry their own costs. Three towns, sixteen mines, eight creature banks, and four monoliths or portals support the Expert-level challenge, and the placed Angel Wings, Spellbinder's Hat, and Tome of Air Magic are among the notable finds.
