The Dwarven Discoveries — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Dwarven Discoveries is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, played on Normal difficulty. Its description imagines dwarves so drawn to anything glittering, whether gold or eyes, that their deep expeditions ended with none returning, leaving only rumors of what they found. Four players can take part, all of them human, split into three teams. Red and Tan have set factions, while Blue and Green are random. Nine towns and one starting hero are placed, and the Grail is on the map alongside mines, seer huts, creature banks and portals. Notable finds include Armageddon's Blade and wandering Gold Golems. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers nearly half the terrain.
