Seven Rounds For A Tenth Life — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Seven Rounds For A Tenth Life is an extra large surface map measuring 144 by 144, built for Shadow of Death and set at Impossible difficulty. Seven players take part, with one human seat at most and the other six colors run by the computer. There are no teams. The factions in play are Castle, Dungeon, Rampart, Inferno, Stronghold, and Tower. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out after 336 days. Snow and grass cover most of the land, with water at 15 percent and lava at 10 percent. The map holds 34 towns, 16 heroes, and 60 mines, plus 32 wandering Water Elemental stacks and 15 monoliths and portals. The author's note is a playful challenge aimed at cat lovers.
