Le Pentacle — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Le Pentacle is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Shadow of Death, rated expert and designed for six players, with four human seats and two computer-only colors, Teal and Pink. There are no teams. The four human-capable colors may choose any of eight factions, while Teal and Pink are limited to Fortress. Water covers about a quarter of the surface, and rock, dirt, and rough ground make up most of the rest. The map holds ten towns, ten heroes, and wandering monsters such as Faerie Dragons and Minotaurs, along with 26 mines and 23 monoliths and portals. Named artifacts include Centaur's Axe and the Shield of the Dwarven Lords. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing every town and hero. The description states that there are no events or story, only strategic play.
