* Expanding Boundaries II * — SoD

Expanding Boundaries II is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death, played on the surface with a Hard difficulty setting. Four players compete, all of them human-controllable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side may choose from all eight standard towns, and the land is almost entirely grass with a sliver of water. The map scatters 95 random monster stacks, a troll that wanders the map, and several dwellings offering Enchanters, Peasants, Boars and Nomads. Players will find 18 randomly placed artifacts, 30 mines, 6 seer huts and 7 creature banks. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player is eliminated once they lose all their towns and heroes. The author's note is brief and gives no further detail about the layout.
