swamp is coming — SoD

Swamp is Coming is a surface-only map for Shadow of Death, set on a medium 72 by 72 field split roughly evenly between grassland and swamp. The premise is a once-fertile land slowly turning into bog, blamed on a wicked sorcerer whose servants must be defeated before the spreading can be stopped. Two players are set up, with one human seat and a computer-controlled Purple side fielding Fortress against Red's Castle. There are no teams, and difficulty is Normal. Victory requires destroying every enemy, while losing a designated hero ends the game. The map holds six towns, three starting heroes, 151 random monster stacks, and seven creature banks, plus 35 random artifacts, 21 mines, two seer huts, and a timed event. Wandering Angels, a Wyvern, a Battle Dwarf, a Monk, and a Cavalier guard the roads.
