Rocks of death — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Rocks of Death is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144, set in the Shadow of Death version and rated Impossible. The author's description, paraphrased, tells of lands around Kaitlin's island that sank beneath the water and slowly rose again, where new kingdoms formed, united, and grew powerful, and where Kaitlin must restore her father's lost might and ancient territories. Eight players share two teams, with one human seat and seven computer-only colors. The Red player controls all eight factions, while Teal holds Castle and Rampart. Water covers 38 percent of the map and subterranean terrain 31 percent. Notable features include 27 towns, 141 mines, 105 random artifacts, and the Grail. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
