Rescuing Ash(SoD) v1.2 — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Rescuing Ash is a medium-sized underground map for Shadow of Death, played on a 72 by 72 grid with three players, though only one can be human. The Red and Purple sides are computer-only, and the two teams pit a human-led Blue alliance of Castle and Tower against the Inferno and Necropolis forces. The story centers on Jenn, who must free Ash after the opening attacks, and the goal is to carry the Elixir of Life to Astral's Plane, while losing the designated hero ends the game. The map has six towns, around 60 mines, and a scattering of artifacts, creature dwellings and seer huts. Wandering Arch Devils are the most common threat, and the land is mostly grass and rock with some swamp and subterranean ground.
