{亵渎} — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Desecration is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 tiles and rated expert. Eight colors are in play, but only one seat is human, and the other seven are computer-controlled, split into three teams. Rampart, Necropolis, Conflux and Castle each appear twice. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly grass, dirt, rock and snow, with about seven percent water. Notable features include the Grail, 44 towns, 27 monoliths and portals, and 42 mines, with wandering Champions, Dread Knights and Wights roaming the map. The author's note reflects on the idea that stolen light fades at the end of a path of betrayal.

Author's description

“你依主的光辉而生,秉承主的荣耀而行。然而在那背弃与堕落之途的尽头,你所窃取的一切光辉都会消散。   主掌控一切,主创造世间!主说要毁灭的,即不会存在!主说要长存的,即永世不朽!”
