Conversion — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Conversion is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, played at Normal difficulty by eight colors, with only one human player and seven computer-controlled opponents. There are no fixed teams. The player's side is Blue and the enemies are Red, Tan, Green, Orange, Purple, Teal and Pink, with factions ranging from Castle and Rampart to Stronghold, Dungeon and Conflux. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the game is lost if a specific hero falls. Rock covers about a third of the terrain, with water about a fifth, and grass and rough ground make up the rest. The map holds 17 towns, 15 heroes, 99 mines, and many guarded creature banks and dwellings. Notable finds include the Crest of Valor, the Cape of Conjuring and several gold-producing artifacts.
