Crystal — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Crystal is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level. It is set for five players split into two teams, but only one seat is human, and the other four colors are computer-controlled. The difficulty is Impossible. The factions are Tower, Dungeon, Fortress, Stronghold, and Inferno. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Grass covers most of the land, with rock, sand, and water making up the rest. The map holds 25 towns, 105 mines, 14 monoliths and portals, and the Grail, and wandering dragons, Ghost Dragons among them, roam the terrain. The author describes it as a long, demanding challenge that is won through a clever hero maneuver.
