Brothers of Mercy and War — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Brothers of Mercy and War is an Extra Large 144 by 144 underground map for Shadow of Death, rated Impossible and aimed at experienced players. The author frames it around a once-legendary land of heroes whose fame has faded, asking whether new glory can be built in its place. Eight players share the map, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled across two teams. Factions include Inferno, Castle, Necropolis, Rampart, Dungeon, Tower, Stronghold, Fortress and Conflux. Water covers about a third of the terrain, with rock and subterranean ground making up much of the rest. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. The map holds 39 towns, 131 mines, the Grail and many placed artifacts, and ten Rust Dragon stacks roam among its other wandering monsters.
