La Bataille du Zodiaque — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Battle of the Zodiac is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated Impossible and built for Shadow of Death. Eight colors take part. Seven can be played by humans, while Purple is reserved for the computer, and there are no fixed teams. Each color plays one faction: Castle, Rampart, Stronghold, Conflux, Inferno, Necropolis, Tower or Dungeon. The author's description tells of Hilda turning against the prayers to Odin and readying her Knights for an assault, while Hades and other demonic forces try to spread chaos on Earth. Victory comes by transporting a specific artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, grass, water and snow cover most of the land, and the map holds 36 towns, 134 mines, the Grail, and 77 monoliths and portals.
