Hourglass(SOD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Hourglass is a two-player map for Shadow of Death, sized 72 by 72 with underground levels and an expert rating. Both seats can be human, with no teams or computer-only colors, and each side starts with a random faction. Rock covers about a third of the land, while water, subterranean ground, and grass fill much of the rest. Each side has time to build up before meeting the other, and there is much ground to cover. Notable features include six towns, two Gold Golem stacks, two Mighty Gorgon stacks, and artifacts such as the Pendant of Life and Tome of Fire Magic. Victory requires eliminating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
