Grave Mistake — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Grave Mistake is an expert-level underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108. Four players are placed, but only one can be human, and the other three are computer-controlled. Players form three teams, and the factions are Necropolis and Rampart. The goal is to build an army strong enough to free a captive hero, then push northwest through hostile territory while avoiding defeat by a rival force. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a particular hero ends the game. Heroes are capped at level 34. The terrain is mostly rock and grass, with water covering about 7 percent. Wandering dragons and liches roam the land, and the map includes eleven towns, along with mines, seer huts, and monoliths.
