Children of the Dragonslayer — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Children of the Dragonslayer is an Expert-difficulty map for Shadow of Death, set on an Extra Large 144x144 grid with an underground level. Eight players share the world, with up to seven controlled by humans and Pink reserved for the computer. There are no teams. The factions are Inferno, Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, two Necropolis players, Tower, and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating one specific hero rather than the usual conditions, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, water, and subterranean ground, with some lava. Notable features include dragon dwellings, the Grail, 108 mines, and 15 monoliths and portals. The story centers on gathering scattered pieces of two ancient artifacts to hunt down a dragon.
