Death's Resolve — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Death's Resolve is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, set on a 144 by 144 field with hard difficulty. The author's description frames it around Sir Godric, who must try to stop undead armies that have overrun his lord's realm and endanger the city of Voroah. Five players are placed, but only one can be human, with Blue, Tan, Green and Purple left to the computer. Three teams are defined, and the factions are Castle for Red, Necropolis and Stronghold for Blue, Necropolis for Tan and Green, and Conflux for Purple. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses if a specific hero falls. The landscape is mostly rock, with dirt, snow and swamp, and only a sliver of water. Wandering undead such as wraiths, vampire lords and liches guard the paths, and the map holds six towns, twelve mines and many creature banks.
