The Better Man(SOD) — SoD

The Better Man is a hard two-player duel on a medium 72 by 72 underground level for Shadow of Death. The author's note asks which of the two players is the stronger. Blue and Orange each start with a random faction, and no teams are set. Rock covers about half the terrain, grass just over a third, and rough and dirt patches make up the rest, with no water. Five towns sit on the map, along with two wandering Mighty Gorgon stacks and two Silver Pegasus stacks. Players will find twenty mines, eleven seer huts, ten creature banks, and four monoliths or portals, plus placed artifacts such as Angel Wings, the Thunder Helmet, and four elemental tomes. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
