Die Apokalyptischen Reiter — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Apocalyptic Riders is an extra large Shadow of Death map of 144 by 144 tiles with underground levels, played on Impossible difficulty. Its theme is the four horsemen of the apocalypse entering the world, which adds dangers beyond the ordinary enemies on the surface. Eight players take part, with up to seven human players and Pink reserved for the computer. There are no teams. The factions are Inferno, Tower, Conflux, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Rampart, and Necropolis. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out on day 336. Rock and water cover most of the land. Notable features include 23 towns, 81 mines, 65 monoliths and portals, 46 random artifacts, and the Grail.
