Seekers of Eternity (Allies) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Seekers of Eternity (Allies) is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 and set on impossible difficulty. Eight players can take part, with up to six controlled by humans, while the Teal and Pink colors are computer-only. Four teams compete. Most colors start with random towns, and the computer pair can choose from eight town types. The premise concerns a hidden underground city of great riches and knowledge, and the goal is to capture one specific town. A player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock, subterranean ground, water, and grass cover most of the terrain. The map holds 31 towns, 114 mines, and 219 random monster stacks, including Faerie Dragons roaming in eight stacks, plus artifacts such as the Spyglass.
