King of Fighters'97 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
King of Fighters'97 is an Extra Large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for the Shadow of Death version, set at the Impossible difficulty. Its story centers on an ancient foe who wakes after a long sleep, intent on ruin, and only the strongest hero can stop him. Eight players are placed, with seven slots open to humans and the Red player controlled by the computer as a Necropolis town. The other seven colors may choose from eight factions, and no teams are set. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 42 percent of the land and water about 17 percent. The map holds 24 towns, 35 heroes, 76 mines, 86 creature banks, and the Grail, along with many wandering monsters, including Hobgoblin stacks and several dragons.
