The Big Fight — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Big Fight is an extra large, 144 by 144 underground-enabled map for Shadow of Death, pitting one human player against seven computer lords across an all-terrain battlefield dominated by rock, subterranean ground, lava and rough land. The map is rated hard, has no teams, and each side fields its own mix of Tower, Necropolis, Inferno, Dungeon, Fortress and Conflux forces. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while losing all towns and heroes ends the game. Wandering monsters are scattered in large numbers, including Cerberus, Centaur Captains and Zealots, and the dwellings offer strong creatures such as Angels and Cavaliers. Artifacts such as the Pendant of Death and the Talisman of Mana are placed on the map, and the Grail is present. The description warns that some opponents keep reinforcements hidden, and that the game is meant for long sessions.
