The Dragon Father — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Dragon Father is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, rated Expert and built for up to eight players, all of whom can be human. There are no teams, and the game is not a standard victory. Most players start with random factions, while the Tan player begins with a Necropolis and the Purple player with a Fortress. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain is mostly rock and subterranean ground, with water and swamp covering smaller parts. The map holds 21 towns and 9 starting heroes, with 122 mines and a Grail. Wandering monsters include Azure Dragons, Gold Dragons, Stone Golems and Rogues, and dwellings offer several dragon types. The author's story centers on returning a powerful artifact to a dragon ancestor.
