Dark Elves! (Allies) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dark Elves! (Allies) is a large, hard map for Shadow of Death, covering 108 by 108 tiles with underground levels. Eight players share the field, but only four colors can be human-controlled, and the other four are computer-only. The players form six teams, and the factions in play are Fortress, Rampart, Conflux, Tower, Castle, Necropolis, and Dungeon. The story follows Dark Elves who have returned to Corlanna under a warlord posing as the famous Elven Hero Gelu. Your task is to defeat him and his followers and clear the real hero's name. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Terrain is mostly grass and rock, with subterranean areas and about 8 percent water. Wandering Water Elementals, Black Dragons, and Unicorns roam the land, and 23 towns, 88 mines, and artifacts such as the Endless Purse of Gold are scattered across it.
