The Arena - Dracon's Home — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Arena - Dracon's Home is an Extra Large, 144 by 144, underground map for Shadow of Death. It is a direct sequel to The Arena - The Gone Continent. Its goal is to hunt down and finally defeat a fugitive from the earlier part, then find the way to Sir Archibald's home. Eight players share the map across two teams, with one human slot and seven computer opponents, who play Castle, Rampart, Tower, Necropolis, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, or a random faction. The difficulty is Impossible. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing a specific hero. Grass covers much of the land, with large areas of water, snow, and rough ground. The map holds 48 towns, 110 mines, 43 creature banks, and 11 monoliths and portals, plus roaming elemental stacks and artifacts such as the Cape of Velocity and Boots of Speed.
