Croisade — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Croisade is an Extra Large map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty rating. Its name is French for crusade. Eight players can take part, with one human slot and seven computer-only colors, grouped into three teams. Red plays Conflux, Blue Stronghold, Tan Dungeon, Green Fortress, Orange Rampart, Purple Tower, and Pink Inferno, while Teal gets a random faction. About a third of the terrain is water, and rock, grass, and subterranean ground make up most of the rest. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a specific hero means defeat. The map holds 38 towns and 30 placed heroes, along with artifacts such as Titan's Thunder and the Boots of Speed, plus wandering Champion and Azure Dragon stacks.
