Long Way Home — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Long Way Home is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, set on a 144 by 144 grid at Normal difficulty. The premise centers on a young person who steps through a mysterious gate that others have warned against, and the goal is to find a route back. Eight seats are available, with one human player and seven computer opponents split into four teams. Factions include Necropolis, Tower, Dungeon, Inferno, and Rampart, with two seats chosen at random. Victory comes from constructing a Grail structure, while a player loses if a specific hero falls. Rock covers nearly half the map, with grass, water, and dirt making up the rest. Notable features include the Grail itself, 13 towns, 43 mines, 25 monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Armor of Wonder and Cape of Velocity.
