Prince of Thieves — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Prince of Thieves is a large Shadow of Death map measuring 108 by 108, with underground levels and a hard difficulty. Seven players can take part, six of them human, and the Red player is computer-controlled only. There are no teams. The factions are Necropolis, Stronghold, Conflux, Castle, Rampart, and two Fortresses. The story concerns a fiery serpent that centuries ago burned villages and carried off precious relics, and players must raise an army to recover them. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and the game is lost if the 336-day limit expires. Water covers about 36 percent of the terrain and underground ground another 26 percent. Notable finds include the Grail, the Talisman of Mana, and the Red Dragon Flame Tongue, along with 19 towns and 105 mines.
