The Battle of Steel & Magic — SoD

The Battle of Steel & Magic is an Extra Large 144x144 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level and an Impossible difficulty setting. It accommodates eight players, but only one can be human, and the other seven colors are computer-controlled, with no teams defined. Every player starts with a random faction. The map's description frames it as a harsh past where people fought fiercely over every patch of land and only the strongest prevailed. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Rock, subterranean ground, water, and grass make up most of the terrain, and the map holds 24 towns and 7 starting heroes. Among the wandering monsters, Crystal Dragons are the most numerous, and the Grail is placed on the map alongside a set of Legion artifacts.
