Return to Magic — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Return to Magic is a large 108 by 108 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level, set at Normal difficulty. Seven colors take part, and up to six can be human players. Purple is computer-only and plays as Tower, while the other colors begin with random factions. There are no teams. The story centers on a powerful mage who has taken magic away from the people and locked himself in a tower. The goal is to defeat him and capture the Tower of Magic. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 43 percent of the land and water about 21 percent. The map includes 15 towns, 26 mines, 24 quest guards, the Grail, and 10 monoliths and portals. Wandering Archangels and Crystal Dragons are among the roaming monsters.
