Когда говорит сталь — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

"When Steel Speaks" is a two-player Shadow of Death map on a large 108 by 108 grid with an underground level, set at Normal difficulty. Both players are human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each side may choose from all eight towns: Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, and Conflux. The story, as the description has it, follows a royal tax dispute that ends with a large army massing at the border. Terrain is mostly rock and grass, with some dirt, swamp, and a small share of water. The map has 12 towns, 4 heroes, 52 mines, 32 creature banks, and 14 monoliths and portals, plus placed artifacts such as the Cards of Prophecy and two inexhaustible carts. A player wins by defeating all enemies and loses by losing all towns and heroes.
