Cruel World (SoD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Cruel World is a medium 72 by 72 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, set to Impossible difficulty. Four players can compete, all of them human, with no teams and random factions. Victory means defeating every enemy, and a loss means losing all towns and heroes. Grass covers about 44 percent of the surface, with rock at roughly 30 percent, subterranean ground at 20 percent and dirt at 6 percent, and there is no water. The map holds five towns and seven heroes, with roaming gnolls, wolf riders, pit lords and cyclops kings. Notable finds are the Armageddon's Blade, the Cards of Prophecy and the Crest of Valor, alongside dwellings for unicorns, dragons and liches.
