The Cossacks — SoD

The Cossacks is a large 108 by 108 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, designed for six players, all of whom can be human, with no teams. Each player takes one of six factions: Dungeon, Castle, Tower, Stronghold, Conflux, or Rampart. The author describes it as a story set in sixteenth-century Eastern Europe, where steppe lands saw conflict among several nations and Cossack forces. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about half the terrain, with grass, water, and snow making up the rest. The map holds 19 towns, 12 heroes, 46 mines, six creature banks, and 25 randomly placed artifacts, along with eight named wandering monster stacks and 155 random monster stacks. It is rated Hard.
