New Begining — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

New Begining is a large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 108 by 108 tiles. According to the author's description, the Supreme Orc God sends Sir Gorbik to push south and east and found a new realm in lands of snow and ice. Three players are set up, but only one seat can be human, and the two other colors, Blue and Orange, are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Stronghold, Blue has Tower and Necropolis, and Orange has Rampart and Conflux. Rock covers about 45 percent of the terrain, with water, snow and grass making up smaller shares. Players win by flagging every creature dwelling and lose if the 224-day limit runs out. The map is set to Impossible difficulty and includes 44 towns, 118 mines, 23 creature banks and 16 monoliths and portals.
