Elly's Adventures — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Elly's Adventures is an extra-large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, played at Impossible difficulty. It is a victory-or-standard game in which the goal is to carry one specific artifact to a destination, while losing one specific hero ends the game in defeat. Eight colors take part, split into four teams, but only one seat can be occupied by a human player; the other seven are computer-controlled. The factions in play span Dungeon, Rampart, Stronghold, Tower, Conflux, Inferno, Necropolis, Fortress and Castle. The landscape is mostly rock and grass with some subterranean ground and a small share of water. Sixteen heroes are placed across 29 towns, and the map holds 60 mines, 11 creature banks, 14 monoliths and portals, and a Grail. Artifacts such as Angel Wings and the Speculum are scattered throughout, along with 100 random artifacts.

Author's description

Среди обширной канзасской степи жила девочка Элли. Её отец, фермер Джон, целый день работал в поле, мать Анна хлопотала по хозяйству. Как раз в это время в далёкой стране за высокими горами колдовала в угрюмой пещере злая Гингема.. Только ангельские крылышки помогут девочке вернуться домой в Канзас.
