Glory to the Brave One — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Glory to the Brave One is an extra large Shadow of Death map of 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level, rated hard. It supports eight players, seven of them human at most, with Pink reserved for the computer and no fixed teams. The eight factions are Castle, Inferno, Rampart, Tower, Necropolis, Dungeon, Conflux and Stronghold, one per color. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 39 percent of the surface, with rock making up roughly a third, so sea routes matter as much as land. The map holds 30 towns, 107 mines, 15 creature banks and 23 monoliths and portals, along with the Grail, several named artifacts and 27 random ones. Wandering troll and wood elf stacks are the most common, and the author stresses that active play is rewarded.
