Lyramion — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Lyramion is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, played on a 144 by 144 grid with an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight players share the map in four teams, though only two seats are open to human players while the other six are computer-controlled. Red and Blue receive random factions, and the computer sides field Fortress, Stronghold, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis, and Rampart. The author describes a peaceful land invaded by Sogrom the Demog, with neighbouring allies backing him, and the win condition is to capture a specific town before time runs out after 252 days. Rock covers about a third of the terrain and water about a fifth. The map holds 25 towns and 10 heroes, along with wandering monsters such as Vampire Lords, Azure Dragons, and a Master Genie, plus Sword of Judgement and Endless Bag of Gold among its placed artifacts.
