Heroes of Might and Magic — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
This Shadow of Death map is an underground extra large map measuring 144 by 144, played on Normal difficulty. Eight players can all be human, with no teams, and each player controls a different faction, from Inferno and Tower to Necropolis and Fortress. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once they have no towns and no heroes left. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with grass, dirt and snow making up much of the rest and water only a small share. The map places sixteen towns and two starting heroes, along with 53 mines, 20 creature banks and several artifacts, including the Crown of the Supreme Magi and the Cape of Velocity. The author's description is brief and presents the map as a world within the game.
