Quest of the sphere — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Quest of the Sphere is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death with underground levels and an Impossible difficulty setting. Six players take part, up to four of them human, and the Red and Purple colors are computer-only. There are no teams. The author's summary says the aim is to find a sphere of negation and activate it, and victory requires transporting a specific artifact. A player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Half the map is subterranean, about a third is rough ground, and a little is grass, with no water. Expect eleven towns, twelve heroes, 67 mines, and 191 random monster stacks, with Minotaur King stacks roaming in the greatest number. The Grail is also placed on the map.
