Bwdl — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Bwdl is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 and played on Impossible difficulty. Eight players take part, with up to seven controlled by humans, and the Tan player is computer-only. There are no fixed teams. Factions include Castle, Dungeon, Necropolis, Fortress, Rampart, Inferno, Tower and Stronghold, spread across the eight colors. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 48 towns, 95 mines and the Grail, along with placed artifacts such as the Cape of Velocity and Titan's Gladius. Rock covers about 37 percent of the terrain and water about 10 percent. The author's note is a reflective poem about how triumph and defeat fade while nature endures.
