The Fall of Atlantis — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Fall of Atlantis is an Expert-difficulty map for Shadow of Death, set on an extra large 144 by 144 battlefield with an underground level. Seven players compete, with up to four controlled by humans and the other three, Green, Purple, and Teal, handled by the computer. There are no teams. Each player starts with a different town type, from Tower and Dungeon to Conflux. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The backstory describes Atlanteans who ruled in peace until a celestial event upset the world, and extraplanar forces joined a struggle for the Six Cities of Destiny. Notable features include the Grail, Armageddon's Blade, and roaming Arch Devil stacks.

Enlightened Atlanteans ruled the world for countless millenia in peace and prosperity. After a strange celestial occurence, however, things have completely changed. Various forces emerged (some of them extraplanar ones!) and mobilized for a long war. Who will control the Six Cities of Destiny?
