Swinishness — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Swinishness is a large 108 by 108 surface map for Shadow of Death on Normal difficulty, supporting six players with up to three human participants. Blue, Tan and Teal are computer-only, and players form two teams. The Russian verse in the description complains that riches are pointless when nothing can be kept, since a grey wolf carries everything off. Factions vary by seat: Tan plays only Necropolis, while others draw from Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Dungeon, Conflux, Stronghold and Fortress. Grass and sand cover most of the land, with some subterranean ground and about 5 percent water. Victory comes from flagging all mines, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Highlights include the Grail, 123 mines, 12 towns, 30 creature banks, and wandering Bone Dragon and Gold Golem stacks.

Author's description

Свинство Какой, скажите, смысл богатым быть, Коль ничего здесь невозможно сохранить? Когда какой-то злой и страшный Серый Волк Уносит всё??? (А в воровстве он знает толк)! И стоило б построить крепкий дом, Да только дело, видите ли, в том...
