First Attack — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
First Attack is a large surface map for Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108 and rated Expert. One human player can take part, opposed by a computer-only Green side, and there are no teams. The human plays Blue with Castle, Necropolis and Dungeon, while Green uses Stronghold and Conflux. Water covers about half the map, with grass and rough ground making up most of the rest. Victory requires capturing the town of Constantinopoly (Istanbul), and the author also asks players to clear every enemy garrison. You lose if all your towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 12 towns, 7 heroes, 17 mines, 8 creature banks and two timed events. It also has a Vial of Lifeblood, one random artifact, and wandering Manticores, Psychic Elementals and Nomads.
