灭鬼记 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

灭鬼记 is an Extra Large underground map for Shadow of Death, set on Impossible difficulty. According to the author's description, it concerns the restless spirits of fallen invaders, who have become demons that keep harassing a peaceful age, and whether a lone hero can rid the world of them. Seven players start on the map, with one human player and six computer-controlled colors split into three teams. The factions are Castle, Tower, Rampart, Fortress, Inferno, and Dungeon, plus a Necropolis and Stronghold combination for Pink. Victory requires capturing one specific town, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, lava, and water cover most of the terrain. The map holds 31 towns, 132 mines, and the Grail, with Champions, Pit Lords, and Rust Dragons roaming the land.

Author's description

传说中的靖国神社有一群侵略者死后变成恶鬼阴魂不散,并不时出来骚扰,成为和平年代一个极大的隐患.横空出世的勇士是否能为世人除此一害呢?我们拭目以待. 英雄无敌从I代玩到III代(IV代太失败了,很少玩),如今要出第V代了,对V代无比期待之余,仍觉得III代魅力无穷,因此在V代即将推出之前编此地图聊表纪念。7_hao@163.com
