Gekko Chess — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Gekko Chess is a small two-player map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, set on an underground level and designed for Shadow of Death in 2002. Red plays Tower against Blue's Inferno. There are no teams and no computer-only colors, so both players can be human. The terrain is split evenly between snow and lava, with rock covering the rest. The map holds two heroes and three towns. Wandering forces include Gremlins, a Pit Fiend and an Efreet Sultan, and the board also has thirteen mines, three creature banks, two monoliths or portals and a timed event. Several artifacts, including the Cards of Prophecy and a Dragon Scale Shield, are placed across the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The difficulty is set to Impossible.
