The Big Battle — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Big Battle is a medium 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, set for four players in two teams of two, with all four slots open to human players. Its grassy landscape is roughly 13 percent water, and each side starts with a random faction. The victory goal is to defeat every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The map is built around a clash between two worlds, and it is pitched at normal difficulty. Roaming dragons of four kinds, including Azure, Faerie, Crystal and Rust, guard the land alongside 204 random monster stacks. Twelve towns, 41 mines, 24 creature banks, eight monoliths and portals, and four seer huts add to the fighting, and the Bird of Perception, Speculum, Spyglass and Stoic Watchman are among the artifacts placed on the map.
