Going Gold! — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Going Gold! is a medium underground map, 72 by 72, built for the Shadow of Death expansion and rated Hard. It is designed for seven players, with one human seat and six computer-controlled colors: Red, Tan, Orange, Purple, Teal, and Pink, alongside Blue, which is a Castle player. There are no teams. The factions in play are Dungeon, Castle, Rampart, Necropolis, Inferno, and combined pairings such as Rampart with Necropolis. Victory requires accumulating one unit of a designated goal, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map has 21 towns and 18 placed heroes. Terrain is mostly rock, grass, and snow, with water covering about seven percent. Highlights include the Grail, a number of artifacts such as Dragon Scale Armor and the Endless Purse of Gold, twelve mines, seven seer huts, and wandering monsters including phoenixes and archangels.
