Divine Intervention — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Divine Intervention is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and a Normal difficulty setting. It supports three players in two teams, with up to two human participants and one computer-only color, Blue. The Red and Orange players start with random factions, while Blue may choose from Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, or Stronghold. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About a third of the terrain is water, with rock covering much of the rest. The map features seven towns, nine starting heroes, and a Grail, along with 19 mines, several creature banks, and 31 monoliths and portals. Wandering Peasants, Nomads, and Faerie Dragons are the most common roaming stacks, and a set of Angels and Titans can be found in the dwellings and on the map.

Author's description

It is 1274 and the first Mongol assault on Japan has just been repelled with the help of the Kamikaze "divine wind," but the Japanese know that Kubilai will strike again. The Shogun hatches a desperate plan, which is going to need divine intervention. (Not quite historically accurate)
