Desert War(SOD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Desert War is a medium 72x72 Shadow of Death map set almost entirely in sand, with only about 5 percent water, and it has no underground level. It is rated hard and plays for two players, both of whom are human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Red and Blue each start with a random faction. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses when they have no towns and no heroes left. The map holds five towns and six pre-placed heroes, along with wandering stacks of Mighty Gorgons, Ghost Dragons, Efreet Sultans, Giants and Thunderbirds. Dwellings offer Efreet, Bone Dragons, Rocs and Gorgons. Notable objects include the Bird of Perception and the Stoic Watchman, plus 25 random artifacts, 38 mines, two seer huts, ten creature banks and four monoliths or portals.
