The Arena - New World — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This Impossible-difficulty map for Shadow of Death covers an extra large 144 by 144 area with an underground level. Eight players share the map, but only one seat can be human, and the other seven are computer controlled. There are no teams. Factions include Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Necropolis, Dungeon, and two Inferno players. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, water, and sand, with 31 towns, 87 mines, and 18 monoliths and portals. A wandering Azure Dragon and nine creature banks add to the challenge. Victory requires defeating a specific monster, and losing a specific hero ends the game. This is the third part of an arena series, set fifteen years into its second story.
