Going Gold! — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Going Gold! is a medium 72x72 underground map for Shadow of Death, rated Hard, with a single human player and six computer-only colors alongside the human's Blue, for seven players in total. There are no teams, and the victory condition is to accumulate creatures, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The players field a mix of Castle, Dungeon, Rampart, Necropolis, Inferno and Pink's Inferno, with several colors combining two factions. Rock, grass and snow cover most of the terrain, with water making up about seven percent. Players will find twelve mines, seven seer huts, seven creature banks, and a Grail on the map, along with artifacts such as Dragon Scale Armor and an Endless Purse of Gold. Wandering monsters include Naga, Archangel and Phoenix stacks.
