Somewhere In Desert — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Somewhere In Desert is an extra large underground-enabled map for Shadow of Death, set across a 144 by 144 field with mostly dirt, rough ground, lava and sand, and about 7 percent water. The author's description tells of Lady Avi searching for her missing fiancée through desert sands, with a powerful artifact as the only lead. The map supports seven players, with one human seat and six computer-only colors, arranged into three teams. Red plays Castle and Rampart, while the other six colors each take one faction: Stronghold, Fortress, Dungeon, Necropolis, Tower and Inferno. Difficulty is set to Impossible. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 48 towns and 14 heroes, plus wandering Archangels, Crystal Dragons and Ancient Behemoths, many dwellings, mines, and a range of placed artifacts.
