Contest- November 2000 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Contest - November 2000 is a small underground map measuring 36 by 36, built for the Shadow of Death version of the game. It is rated easy and accommodates seven players, with only one seat open to a human while the other six colors are run by the computer. The players are split into four teams. Blue and Red both play Castle, Tan and Teal play Dungeon, Green plays Fortress, Orange plays Necropolis, and Purple plays Stronghold. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The map holds eight towns and a large number of guarded and wandering stacks, including several Minotaur Kings and Black Knights. Players will find thirty mines, five creature banks, five monoliths or portals, the Arms of Legion, the Legs of Legion, and an Endless Purse of Gold placed on the map.
