Central Law — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Central Law is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, set in the Shadow of Death version of the game and played on Impossible difficulty. It supports seven players, with up to six controlled by humans, and the Red player is computer-only. There are no teams. Red starts as the King, a Castle town, surrounded by groups of fearsome monsters, and the rest of the map is split among Rampart, Stronghold, and Dungeon players. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map contains 34 towns and wandering monsters such as nineteen stacks of Black Dragons, plus placed artifacts including the Sword of Judgement.

Author's description

The King and his Law source are placed in the Central region as the Red Player. Fortunately, this place has been circled with numerous groups of terrible monsters. Of course, the wall will not exist much longer by the time the King accumulates enough forces and pushes his law on the land.
