The forgotten threat — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Forgotten Threat is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 tiles and played across both surface and underground levels. It is rated hard and supports five players, though only one can be human, with the other four controlled by the computer. Teams are split into four groupings. Red and Purple play Castle, Blue plays Tower, and Tan and Green receive random factions. The win condition is to defeat all enemies, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls. The map is dominated by rock and grass, with dirt and snow covering smaller areas. Wandering monsters are plentiful, including several Wyvern Monarchs, Firebirds, and Gold Dragons, and the map holds the Grail, along with a number of placed artifacts such as the Armor of Wonder and the Ogre's Club of Havoc.

Author's description

Тень пала на южные границы Хенринга. Давно забытые южные кочевник вновь начинаю набирать силу. Под знаменами на север продвигаются с неудачами огромные армии титанов. Но это вопрос времени. Бароны пали в сметение и объявили всем войну. Восточные наместники объявили союз с Врагом. Цель ОТСТАЯТЬ!
