Second Chance ver. 2 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Second Chance is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Shadow of Death, rated Hard. Seven players take part, with up to three controlled by humans, while Red, Blue, Tan and Pink are computer-only. There are no teams, and each side receives a random faction. The goal is to accumulate a large amount of gold within an 84-day limit, and running out of time counts as a loss. Subterranean ground makes up the largest share of the terrain, with grass, swamp and rock covering much of the rest. Wandering Vampire Lords and Gold Golems roam the map, which also holds 11 mines, 43 seer huts, and artifacts such as the Ring of Life.

The city of Second Chance: a jumble of slums, bungalows, and civic disarray. Home to those who missed the gold rush, lost the sweepstakes, or washed ashore on banks of desperation. The city of Second Chance: home to you. Guide your chosen faction to economic pre-eminence.
