Rome in Danger (Allies) — SoD

Rome in Danger (Allies) is a medium 72x72 map for Shadow of Death, played on the surface with a Hard difficulty rating. Eight players take part, with up to two human players and six computer-controlled colors. The two teams are arranged so that Rome (Red) or Constantinople (Blue) defends the Roman Empire against six barbarian peoples: the Germans, Huns, Berbers, Egyptians, Franks and Slavs. Every faction is random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The terrain is roughly 45 percent grass, 40 percent water and 14 percent sand. Notable features include wandering stacks of Master Genies, Phoenixes, Vampire Lords, Dwarves and Water Elementals, 38 mines, 14 towns, and three randomly placed artifacts.
