Rise of a Dragon King — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Rise of a Dragon King is a small 36 by 36 map for Shadow of Death, set on an underground level. Four players are placed, with at most one human and three computer-controlled colors (Orange, Teal, and Pink), on Expert difficulty, and there are no teams. Red plays Tower, Teal mixes Tower and Inferno, and Orange and Pink play Inferno. The story follows a young dragon rider from a flooded city into realms of fire and water. Lava covers nearly half the terrain, water about 44 percent, and swamp a small share. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and losing one particular hero ends the game. Notable features include the Grail, sixteen monoliths and portals, twelve timed events, and nine wandering water elemental stacks.
