Games of Gods — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Games of Gods is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, rated hard. Its premise is that the elementals have grown so powerful they refuse to obey the gods, so the gods stage a contest among local religious sects. Seven human players can take part, alongside one computer-only Pink player who always plays Conflux. The other colors pick factions at random, and there are no fixed teams. Victory requires capturing a specific town, the City of Elements, and defeat means losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 38 percent of the map and water 23 percent, with smaller shares of rough ground and lava. The map holds 41 towns, 29 heroes, 237 random monster stacks, roaming dragons and phoenixes, and 124 mines.
