Butterfly — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Butterfly is a small 36 by 36 map for Shadow of Death, played on an underground level at normal difficulty. All eight seats can be human, each with a random faction, and there are no teams. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Snow, lava, grass and water make up the terrain, with water covering about 15 percent. Eight towns and nine heroes begin the game, four Azure Dragon stacks roam freely, and dwellings offer Azure, Crystal, Faerie and Rust Dragons. The Grail is on the map, along with 24 monoliths and portals and six timed events. The author's short poem, about butterflies drifting carefree between flowers and from shadow into light, sets the mood.
