Must be Recovered! v.1.3 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Must be Recovered! is a Hard, extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, laid out on a 144 by 144 grid. One human player can join, and seven computer-controlled colors fill the remaining slots, with all eight players split into two teams. Red and Green play Tower, while Blue plays Conflux, Tan plays Stronghold, Orange plays Necropolis, Purple plays Rampart, Teal plays Fortress, and Pink plays Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about half the terrain and water roughly a sixth. The map holds 39 towns, 134 mines, and the Grail, along with artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and the Crown of the Supreme Magi. Its theme is survival, where inaction tends to end badly and reckless moves cause even more trouble.
