Demon Knight — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Demon Knight is a Shadow of Death map on an extra large 144 by 144 underground level, set to Impossible difficulty. Eight players take part, with one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors, split into two teams. Red plays Conflux, Blue Rampart, Tan Fortress, Green Inferno, Orange Stronghold, Purple Necropolis, and Pink Tower, while Teal fields both Necropolis and Stronghold. Victory and defeat both depend on a specific hero, either defeating one or losing one. The land is mostly rock and subterranean ground with a little water. It holds 26 towns, 31 heroes, 83 mines, and the Grail. Arch Devil stacks wander the map often, and artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi are placed around it. The author asks players to keep the Impossible setting and avoid cheating.
