Gateway — SoD

Gateway is a small 36 by 36 map set on a single island, with no underground level, built for Shadow of Death and rated Expert. Four players take part, but only one can be human, so the other three seats are computer-controlled: Blue (Dungeon), Green (Stronghold), and Orange (Rampart). The human player leads Red, who plays as Castle. There are no teams. The terrain is mostly grass with swamp inland and about 30 percent water. The map holds five towns, four heroes at the start, and twelve mines, along with wandering monsters including Black Dragons, Stone Gargoyles, Archers, Goblins, and Peasants. Five random artifacts and the Grail are placed across the island. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and the game is lost if a particular hero falls. A timed event also runs during play.
