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, designed for one human player against seven computer-controlled colors, with no teams. The author gives no name and no byline, and the description frames the player as a traveler arriving in the Realm with a single purpose: converting unbelievers. The map is mostly rock, with water covering about a fifth of the surface and grass making up much of the rest. Factions include Castle, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon and Conflux. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific hero falls. The surface offers 17 towns, 99 mines, 19 creature banks and 21 monoliths and portals, along with 15 placed heroes. Notable finds include a dozen dwelling types and a set of named artifacts such as the Cape of Conjuring and the Endless Sack of Gold.

Author's description

You've travelled for several days now at the behest of your superiors into the region of Aerth known simply as the Realm. None of the politics of the region concern you. You are here for one reason - the conversion of unbelievers. You know what must be done.
