Magic Valley (SoD) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Magic Valley (SoD) is a large 108 by 108 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level. Its description asks a stranger to free the author's town in exchange for passage to the heavens, so the goal centers on that rescue. Six players can all be human, with no teams and random factions for each color. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is set to Impossible. The map holds 15 towns, seven heroes, and 163 random monster stacks, including many Efreet Sultans, demons, and dragons. Ten named artifacts are placed, such as the Cards of Prophecy and the Armor of Wonder, alongside mines, creature banks, and monoliths.
