Seventh Gate — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Seventh Gate is an Extra Large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, rated Expert. It has eight player colors, with up to five played by humans and the other three left to the computer, and seven teams. The factions are Castle, Rampart, Tower, and Necropolis. The author presents the story as a question: can a fragile partnership between Humans and Elves hold against Lord Char and reunite a divided world? Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about a third of the land, with water at about 18 percent and smaller shares of grass and swamp. The map contains 24 towns, 110 mines, and 14 monoliths and portals, along with roaming Green Dragons and Iron Golems and artifacts such as the Crown of the Supreme Magi.
