Test du Grand Nichou — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Test du Grand Nichou is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It seats seven players, six of whom can be human, while Tan is reserved for the computer, and the players form four teams. Red plays Castle, Blue Tower, Tan Stronghold, Green Inferno, Orange Necropolis, Purple Dungeon and Teal Rampart. The description frames the game as a divine quest to find the bravest champion, with trials of faith, courage and patience along the way. Water covers about 34 percent of the surface, and the map holds 27 towns, 128 mines, 42 creature banks, 30 monoliths and portals, and the Grail. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and the game is lost if time runs out at day 196.
