Luck of the Draw (SoD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Luck of the Draw is a medium 72 by 72 Shadow of Death map with an underground level, set for three players, of whom two can be human, with the third colour computer-controlled only. There are no teams. Blue, Green and Purple all receive random factions. The map has no starting castle; instead, each player begins near one of several possible castles, so early scouting matters, since attacks can arrive from several directions. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about a fifth of the terrain, with grass, dirt and lava making up most of the rest. Notable features include a Grail, three placed artifacts such as the Clover of Fortune, and a mix of guarded mines, dwellings and monoliths. Hero level is capped at 25.
