Shadow Lands — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Shadow Lands is an extra large map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with underground levels and seven players, up to five of whom can be human. The author describes a dark war in which the undead wander sacred lands and a demon rises from a Gate of Shadows. The map is rated Expert and split into six teams, with Red and Purple controlled only by the computer. Factions include Castle, Tower, Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Stronghold and Rampart. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers nearly half the terrain and water about a fifth. Notable finds include the Grail, the Crown of the Supreme Magi and an Endless Sack of Gold, while wandering demons and undead stacks are scattered across the map.
