Conan's Story — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Conan's Story is an extra-large underground-capable map for Shadow of Death, set in the Hyborian world of Conan the Barbarian, as the author describes it: a vast land of powerful kingdoms with neighbours packed closely together and very strong monsters. It spans 144 by 144 tiles and is rated Impossible. Eight players take part in seven teams, with room for a single human player and seven computer-controlled colours. The factions include Stronghold, Castle, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Rampart, and combinations of these. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses if a specific hero is defeated. Rock covers about a third of the land, with water and sand at roughly 14 percent each. Scattered across the map are 48 towns, 104 mines, and 34 creature banks, along with monoliths, portals, and a number of named artifacts.
