RATS! — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
RATS! is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death at Normal difficulty, measuring 144 by 144 tiles. The author's goal is to wipe out every rat in the dungeon. Five players share the map, but only one can be human, and the other four are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Castle, Blue and Tan play Dungeon, Green plays Necropolis, and Orange plays Inferno. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Water covers about 46 percent of the map, with rock and subterranean terrain making up most of the rest. Seventeen towns and thirteen heroes are placed, and wandering Cyclops Kings, an Enchanter, and a Troll roam the land. Mines and creature banks are scattered throughout.
