If want to die — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large underground map, built for the Shadow of Death expansion and rated Impossible, pits four players against one another on a 108 by 108 tile field. Two seats belong to human players, while the Purple and Teal colors are controlled by the computer. There are no teams: Red and Blue each start with Castle and Rampart, Purple fields Tower, and Teal fields Necropolis. The author's note describes wizards exiled from their homes and waging war to plunder everything in their path. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, grass, snow and subterranean ground dominate the terrain, with a little water. Sixteen towns, seven pre-placed heroes, and a scatter of mines, guarded creature banks, and monoliths and portals shape the routes. Notable placed objects include the Orb of the Firmament, the Pendant of Courage, and a Wizard's Well.
