Dobry Początek — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dobry Początek is an Extra Large 144x144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, rated Impossible. Its name translates roughly as "Good Beginning," and the author's description says Gelu sets out to claim the Bow of the Sharpshooter. Eight players take part, but only one seat can be human, and the other seven colors are computer-only, grouped into seven teams. Each color plays a different town: Rampart, Fortress, Stronghold, Tower, Castle, Dungeon, Necropolis and Inferno. Water covers about half the map, with grass, snow and sand making up most of the rest. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Faerie Dragons wander in large numbers, and the Grail and an Endless Sack of Gold are placed on the map.
