The Decisive Hundred — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Decisive Hundred is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144, set at the Impossible difficulty. Six nations fight a long war, and the author's own description suggests the way to end it is to gather a hundred Azure Dragons. Six colors take part, with Red playing Inferno, Blue Dungeon, Green Tower, Orange Stronghold, Purple Castle and Teal Conflux. Two seats can be human and the other four are computer-only, with no teams. Victory comes from accumulating 100 creatures, and the game is lost if the timer runs out after 280 days. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with dirt, grass, lava and a little water. The map holds 28 towns, 10 heroes, 104 mines, and 71 creature banks, along with 255 random artifacts and a Grail. Dwellings offer Azure Dragons, Crystal Dragons and other strong creatures.

Six nations wage endless war on each other for a long, long time. There seems to be only one way to defeat your opponents utterly - to form an alliance with mystic and extremely powerful Azure Dragons, who will encertain your victory. A hundred of these mighty legendary beasts will do the job.
