Golden fish (continued) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This Shadow of Death map is an extra large surface map of 144 by 144 tiles, played on Normal difficulty by seven players, with one human seat and six computer-only colors. There are no teams. The factions are Castle, Conflux, Fortress, Rampart, and Inferno, with two players receiving random towns. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses when all towns and heroes are gone. Snow covers about 30 percent of the terrain, with rough ground, water, and sand making up most of the rest. The map holds 43 towns and 15 starting heroes, and its most common wandering monsters are Titans, with 34 stacks. The Grail is placed on the map, along with 76 mines, 12 seer huts, and 21 monoliths and portals. The author notes that the map draws on Pushkin's writing.
