Five is the Principle — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Five is the Principle is an expert-rated, medium 72 by 72 underground map for Shadow of Death, played by up to four players with one human seat. The other three colors are computer controlled, and there are no teams. Necropolis, Castle, Stronghold and Tower are the factions in play. Two rival houses of wizards have split Caracron and sealed it off from Scatvall, and the player must reunite the kingdom and magic. Victory means defeating one specific hero, while losing a specific hero ends the game. Water covers 39 percent of the land. Expect 8 towns, 40 mines, the Grail, wandering Magic Elementals and artifacts like the Endless Sack of Gold.
