Сага о Мече. — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Saga of the Sword is an Extra Large, 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with underground levels and an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight players take part, with at most two human seats and the other six colors left to the computer. There are no teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Rampart, Conflux, Necropolis, Dungeon and Inferno. The story follows two linked worlds, one threatened by barbarian hordes marching from the east and the other by a sorcerer who is preparing its final day. Sand and grass each cover about a quarter of the land, with water at 15 percent and lava at 9 percent. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses when all their towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 33 towns, 16 heroes, 307 random monster stacks, roaming Nomads, Mummies and dragons, 45 mines and 65 creature banks.

Орды варваров с востока начинают свой поход в Алькерии, а таинственный колдун Его Тень готовит последний день для мира Тойнори...
