Malta — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Malta is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating. Six players start on it, with up to four controlled by humans and the Green and Pink colors left to the computer. There are no fixed teams. Factions include Castle for Red and Green, Tower for Blue and Tan, Inferno for Orange, and Conflux for Pink. Rock covers nearly half the map and water about a third, with grass making up a small share. Victory requires acquiring the Angelic Alliance, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 16 towns, 56 mines, 18 creature banks, and the Grail, along with wandering dragons, Crusaders, and Pit Lords. The author's text frames the setting as a power struggle in Malta with a rebellion on Gozo and a Turkish landing at Marsaxlokk.
