Seek and Destroy — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Seek and Destroy is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level. It is set to expert difficulty for two players, with one human player allowed and the Blue side controlled only by the computer. There are no teams. The human plays Red as Castle, while Blue plays Tower. Snow covers just over half the map, with grass and swamp making up most of the rest, and there is no water. The map has ten towns, eight heroes, and a single tavern placed far away and heavily guarded, so losing a hero is costly. Roaming Azure Dragons are numerous, and the map also holds the Grail, 32 mines, and 123 creature banks. Victory requires defeating all enemies. The author suggests starting at a level the author calls impossible, since resources are scarce from the beginning.
