Dawn of the (Walking) Dead — SoD

Dawn of the (Walking) Dead is a small underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 36 by 36 and designed for expert play. Three players take part, but only one can be human, and the two computer-only colors are Orange and Pink. Each side fields Necropolis, and there are no teams. Victory requires transporting one specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out after 84 days. The hero level is capped at one. The ground is mostly dirt and grass, with a little water. Wandering stacks of Walking Dead, Zombies, Wraiths, and Vampire Lords roam the map, four towns are scattered across it, and there are timed events, seer huts, and monoliths to manage. The author's note frames the scenario around a wager with a rival over taking his town using Walking Dead alone.
