Nexus Polaris — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Nexus Polaris is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It supports eight players, with up to four controlled by humans and four computer-only colors, arranged into five teams. Each player starts with a different town type, covering Inferno, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon, Necropolis, Rampart and Tower. Water covers roughly 28 percent of the land, with rock, rough ground and grass making up most of the rest. The map holds 23 towns and 12 starting heroes, along with 108 mines, 34 creature banks and 11 monoliths or portals. Wandering Sharpshooters, Fire Elementals and Magma Elementals are the most common roaming stacks, and the Grail is placed somewhere on the map. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone.
