Predator — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Predator is an extra large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level included. Eight players take part, up to seven of them human, while Orange is reserved for the computer. No teams are set, so every side plays alone. The factions are Tower, Castle (two players), Stronghold (two players), Rampart, Inferno, and Necropolis. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers almost half the land, with water about a quarter and grass a tenth. Highlights include the Sword of Hellfire, the Shield of the Damned, 49 mines, seven seer huts, and many wandering Hobgoblins and Gremlins. The difficulty is Expert. The author's note describes former peaceful creatures left to fend for themselves while rival neighbors renew their feud.

Author's description

Monsters previously serving as peaceful inhabitants, left these lands with little assistance. Expectations on themselves and their soldiers are very high. Your neighbors are quarreling again, so get ready for a war that will determine your fate.
