Four Possibilities — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Four Possibilities is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, set at the Impossible difficulty. A one-way portal sends the party to one of four gateway exits, so the outcome rests on chance. The 144 by 144 map supports five players, with only one human seat. The other four colors, Red, Orange, Purple and Pink, are computer controlled. Green plays Fortress, Orange Stronghold, Purple Necropolis, Pink Inferno, and Red is random. No teams are set. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Lava, rock, water and swamp cover most of the land. The map holds 34 towns, 129 mines, 10 monoliths and portals, and about 790 random monster stacks.
