Four Schools of Magic {TE} — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Four Schools of Magic is an extra large Shadow of Death map of 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and Normal difficulty. Five colours take part, up to four of them human-controlled, and Purple is computer-only. There are no teams. Blue plays Tower and Fortress, Tan plays Rampart and Tower, Orange plays Tower and Stronghold, Purple plays Tower and Inferno, and Teal plays Castle and Tower. The premise is that the heads of four magical schools, driven from their home, are now fighting one another and must be reunited to overthrow a dark ruler. Victory means defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about half the terrain, with water, lava and swamp also prominent. The Sword of Hellfire and the Pendant of Holiness are among the placed artifacts, and a Black Knight roams the wilds.
