La Cité des Nuages — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
La Cité des Nuages is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 and rated Hard. Seven players share the field, with one human seat at most, across five teams. The factions are Castle, two Rampart players, Dungeon, Fortress, Stronghold, and Inferno. The sorcerer Zoltar has gathered five great powers for a spell that could seize the magical world of Sylphide, and the player must reach his city and kill him in time. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Rock covers most of the land, with grass, rough ground, and swamp, and water is nearly absent. The map holds 21 towns, 119 mines, and 85 random artifacts.
