Dunkle Horden — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dunkle Horden is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, played at Impossible difficulty. Eight colors compete, with up to five human players, the Tan, Green and Teal sides left to the computer, and no fixed teams. Rampart, Castle, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Tower, Inferno and Conflux are all present. The description pictures death knights, dungeon overlords and devil worshippers uniting to seize the surface world, so players must gather their allies before the dark hordes strike. Rock covers about 39 percent of the terrain and water about 20 percent, with 17 towns, 59 mines and 45 creature banks spread across it. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
