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 can take part, but Green and Pink are computer-only, so up to four humans can play. There are no teams. Red and Green play Castle, Blue and Tan play Tower, Orange plays Inferno, and Pink plays Dungeon. Water covers about 38 percent of the map and rock about 36 percent. The setting centers on a divided island, and the goal is to acquire the Angelic Alliance, which is also the victory condition. A player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 22 towns, 16 heroes, the Grail, and many wandering monsters, including Red Dragons.
