Neighbors Ver1.1 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Neighbors Ver1.1 is a small two-player map for Shadow of Death, set on a 36 by 36 underground level at Normal difficulty. Two players, both human, face off as Green with the Rampart faction and Purple with the Necropolis, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author describes two rivals who share a border and have little in common, both chasing the same legendary prize. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Subterranean ground covers about a third of the map, with rough terrain, water and rock making up much of the rest. Each side starts with a town, and the map holds a Grail, several named artifacts such as the Endless Sack of Gold and the Ring of Infinite Gems, seer huts, creature banks, and a mix of wandering monsters and random artifacts.

Author's description

Neighbors are annoying, damned annoying. Especially when they live right next door and you have absolutely nothing in common with them. Well maybe that's not true--you're both searching for that ultimate legendary artifact, The Grail, and finding it will ensure their destruction...
