Endless Struggle SOD Rev — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Endless Struggle SOD Rev is an extra large underground map for eight players, each playing alone against the others since no teams are set and every seat can be human. It is played in Shadow of Death on a 144 by 144 board with an underground level, and the difficulty is set to Impossible. The eight factions are Castle, Tower, Rampart, Fortress, Stronghold, Inferno, Dungeon and Necropolis, one per player. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The map is roughly a fifth rock, a fifth water, and a fifth subterranean ground, with some lava. Its 27 towns are supported by 113 mines, 14 creature banks and 14 monoliths or portals, and the Grail is placed on the map. The author warns that invasions will be hard, so good logistics and flying units matter.
