Monster Island 1.02 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Monster Island 1.02 is an extra-large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight players can take part, all of them human if the room is full, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each seat starts with a different town type, from Castle and Tower to Dungeon and Necropolis. The victory goal is to accumulate 20 creatures, and the game ends in a loss if 224 days pass. Water covers about a quarter of the land, with grass, swamp and rough ground making up most of the rest. The map is crowded with 34 towns and 40 heroes, plus many wandering monsters, including Water Elementals, Azure Dragons and Phoenixes. Mines, seer huts, creature banks and timed events are scattered across it, along with an array of artifacts.
