La Quête de Nicolaï — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

La Quête de Nicolaï is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Shadow of Death at Normal difficulty. It seats three players, one of them human at most, with the Tan and Purple colors left to the computer and no teams. Tan plays Necropolis, Orange plays Castle, and Purple plays Castle and Tower. In this first chapter, the player must stop the death knights from gathering the magical artifacts they need to ravage Erathia, and those items would serve the player too. Victory means acquiring one specific artifact, while losing one specific hero ends the game. Rock, subterranean, and grass terrain dominate, with seven towns, four creature banks, and six mines.

Author's description

Dans ce premier chapitre, tu dois empêcher les chevaliers de la mort de récupérer les objets magiques qui leur serviront à détruire Erathia, et qui te seront utiles. Si jamais un ennemi s'emparait d'un seul objet magique, recharge la partie ;-)
