Scars of the old wars — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Scars of the Old Wars is an extra large, eight-player map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144 with an underground level. Seven seats can be taken by human players, and the eighth, Teal, is controlled by the computer only. There are no teams, so every faction fights for itself: Inferno, Tower, Fortress, Rampart, Stronghold, Castle, Necropolis and Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. The author describes it as extremely difficult and aimed at experienced players. Rock, water, grass and lava cover most of the terrain, and the map holds the Grail, 130 mines, 47 seer huts, and 310 monoliths and portals, along with many wandering monsters, including Arch Devils and Azure Dragons.
