Shadow King — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Shadow King is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, rated Impossible and built for two players, though only one can be human. The computer-controlled Blue side fights Red, which plays Rampart, while Blue combines Inferno, Necropolis and Dungeon. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses if a specific hero is killed. Rock covers about 40 percent of the terrain and water roughly 29 percent. The map holds six towns, seven heroes, and a scattering of wandering monsters, including several Red Dragon, Dread Knight and Minotaur King stacks. Artifacts such as the Helm of Chaos, the Golden Bow and the Sandals of the Saint are placed around the map, along with fourteen mines, three creature banks and eight monoliths and portals.
