Five is the Principle — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Five is the Principle is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Shadow of Death, set at Expert difficulture with four players, of whom only one can be human. The computer-controlled Red, Green and Orange players hold Necropolis, Castle and Stronghold respectively, while the human player takes Tower, and no teams are used. Water covers roughly 39 percent of the land, with rock, grass and snow making up most of the rest, so sea crossings and frozen ground shape how armies move. The story frames the player's task as reuniting a divided kingdom, and the victory condition requires defeating a specific hero, while losing a specific hero ends the game. The map holds eight towns, forty mines, the Grail, and a scattering of wandering elementals, dwellings with strong guardians, and artifacts such as the Orb of the Firmament and the Endless Sack of Gold.
