Swashbucklers! — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Swashbucklers! is an Extra Large 144x144 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, built around a sea-going pirate theme that the author describes in playful, nautical language. Water covers about 47 percent of the surface, with rock making up roughly 29 percent and grass about 7 percent. Eight players compete, all human-capable and without teams, each taking one of the eight factions from Inferno to Dungeon. Victory requires flagging every creature dwelling, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 34 towns, 13 starting heroes, 103 mines, and 41 monoliths and portals. Wandering Ice and Storm Elementals are common, and placed artifacts include the Admiral's Hat and the Boots of Speed. The difficulty is rated Hard.
