The Daywalker — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Daywalker is a medium 72x72 map with an underground level, set for Shadow of Death and rated Hard. It supports seven players, with only one human seat and six computer-controlled colors, arranged into five teams. Factions in play are Castle, Fortress, Necropolis (twice), Inferno, Stronghold, and Tower. The author's premise is a noble knight who must defeat a vampire king before the sun can be walked under again. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses if a specific hero falls. Terrain is mostly grass, rock, water, and lava, with about 14 percent water. The map holds twelve towns, three placed heroes, and a Grail, along with fifteen named artifacts and 32 random ones. Notable features include 29 mines, eight monoliths and portals, and a range of wandering monster stacks, plus dwellings for creatures such as Griffins, Vampires, and Devils.
