For Brood And Honor(pro) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

For Brood And Honor(pro) is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, set on Impossible difficulty. The author's brief note frames the play around a choice between darkness and light. Eight players are placed, with up to three human seats. The five computer-only colors are Red (Castle), Blue (Tower), Tan (Necropolis), Green (Rampart), and Orange (Inferno, Necropolis, and Fortress). Purple, Teal, and Pink get random factions. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Terrain is roughly a quarter rock, a quarter water, a fifth grass, and a little snow. The map holds 23 towns and 16 placed heroes, with many wandering monsters, most often Water and Air Elementals, plus mines, creature banks, and placed artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi.
