Only the Strong(SOD) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Only the Strong is a Shadow of Death map for two players, each playing alone against the other, with random factions for both Red and Blue. Set on a medium 72x72 board with an underground level, it is rated hard and is won by defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author describes it as a contest between two kingdoms that each believe they should rule the world, so the match comes down to which side proves stronger. Terrain is mostly rock and grass, with some dirt, subterranean ground, and a little water. Notable features include two Crystal Dragons, a Troll and a Nomad roaming the map, 20 random artifacts, a placed Inexhaustible Cart of Lumber and Inexhaustible Cart of Ore, and the Grail.
