Swashbucklers! — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Swashbucklers! is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144, with an underground level and a Hard difficulty rating. It supports eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each color starts with a different faction, running from Inferno and Castle through Stronghold, Dungeon and Necropolis. Water covers nearly half the map, with rock and a small share of grass making up most of the remaining ground, so sea travel shapes most routes. Victory requires flagging every creature dwelling, and a player is eliminated once they lose all towns and heroes. The map holds 34 towns, 13 placed heroes, and many wandering monsters such as ice and storm elementals, along with 23 creature banks, 8 seer huts and 41 monoliths and portals. Nearly forty random artifacts and a number of named ones are scattered across the islands.

Author's description

Aye Matie, we be having us a little Pirate adventure now, so ye best be gettin' your sea legs about ya! I hear tell that the Captains might even be finding Admiral's Hats to be doin' their raiding with. Why, that'd turn even a land-lubber into a decent sailor, it would! Arr, shove-off now!
