Pyramid — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Pyramid is an Extra Large, 144 by 144 map with an underground level, built for the Shadow of Death version of the game. It is set at Impossible difficulty and supports six players, with only one human seat and five computer-controlled colors, arranged into three teams. The player takes the Red color, which begins with a random faction, while the computer sides field Rampart, Tower, Dungeon, Necropolis, and Castle. Rock, subterranean ground, and grass make up most of the terrain, with water covering about an eighth of it. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the game is lost once every town and hero is gone. Scattered across the surface and underground are 23 towns, 118 random monster stacks, and a Grail, along with the Pyramid's dwellings, timed events, and a range of placed artifacts.
