Monster Island 1.01(Fixed) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Monster Island 1.01(Fixed) is an extra-large 144x144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and eight players, all of whom can be human, so there are no computer-only colors. The players are split into two teams and each color is assigned a different faction: Castle, Tower, Inferno, Stronghold, Rampart, Fortress, Necropolis and Dungeon. Difficulty is set to Impossible. Water covers about a quarter of the terrain, with grass, swamp and rough ground making up most of the rest. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses when all towns and heroes are gone. The map holds 34 towns, 40 starting heroes, and a Grail, along with many mines, seer huts, creature banks and monoliths. Wandering dragons and elementals roam the land in large numbers, and the artifacts include Armageddon's Blade.
