il - world — SoD

Il - World is an extra large, 144 by 144 tile map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, built for eight players, all of whom may be human. Every seat is set to a random faction, there are no teams, and the victory condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Water covers about 65 percent of the surface, with the rest split between grass, snow and sand, so sea routes matter as much as land ones. The map is set at Impossible difficulty and is dense with content: 24 towns, 69 mines, 18 creature banks, and roughly 490 random monster stacks. Dwellings hold creatures such as Giants, Devils, several elementals, a range of dragons, and Mummies. About 106 random artifacts are scattered across the world, and two monoliths or portals help movement.
