Death or Glory — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Death or Glory is an extra-large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, set at Impossible difficulty for the Shadow of Death expansion. The author's description frames the goal as pushing into the Abyss to bring down a fiend's lair. Eight players share the map, with up to six controlled by humans and the Teal and Pink colors reserved for the computer. There are no fixed teams. Purple plays Rampart, Teal plays Dungeon and Fortress, Pink plays Inferno, and the other five colors start with random factions. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about a third of the terrain and water about 29 percent. The map holds 23 towns, 49 mines, and 25 creature banks, along with roaming elementals and red dragons. Armageddon's Blade and Angel Wings are among the placed artifacts.
