Bound by Strength(SOD) — SoD

Bound by Strength is a two-player Shadow of Death map set on a medium 72 by 72 grid with an underground level, rated expert. Two lords fight to the death, and each carries a set of Shackles of War so the other cannot simply flee. Teams are not used, and both players may be human, with factions assigned at random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers close to half the terrain, with grass, water, and swamp making up most of the rest. The map holds three towns, two wandering Hydra stacks, and dwellings for Air and Water Elementals. Seventy random monster stacks, fifteen mines, seven creature banks, fifteen monoliths and portals, eighteen random artifacts, and the Grail add further detail.
