No way back 1.8 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
No Way Back 1.8 is an Extra Large underground map measuring 144 by 144 for Shadow of Death, set on the Impossible difficulty. It supports eight players, but only one seat can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. The three teams field Castle, Stronghold, Conflux, Rampart, Fortress, Necropolis, Tower and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if one specific town falls. Rock covers about 41 percent of the terrain and water about 29 percent. The author's note describes a small kingdom in danger, which can be turned to advantage by exploiting the feud between the underground and surface clans. Notable finds include the Grail, the Clover of Fortune, the Pendant of Life, and fifteen random artifacts, along with 47 mines and 27 monoliths and portals.
