The Empire Of The World II — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map includes an underground level and is set to Impossible difficulty. Eight colors take part, but only one can be human, so the other seven are computer controlled, and no teams are used. The story follows Maximus, a Roman warrior exiled from his homeland, who wakes alone on a beach after a shipwreck and must find his way back home. Factions include Castle, Rampart, Inferno, Necropolis, and others, spread across 39 towns and 48 heroes. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About a third of the terrain is water. Wandering Chaos Hydras and Crystal Dragons roam the land, and the Grail and Armageddon's Blade are among the placed artifacts.
