The Great War — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Great War is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated Expert and built for Shadow of Death. Eight players share the field, all of whom may be human, grouped into three teams, and each starts with a different faction from Castle to Inferno. The author frames it as a long standoff among good, neutral and evil that this war will finally end, and victory comes only through conquering every enemy. A side is defeated once it loses all of its towns and heroes. Rock covers the largest share of the terrain. The map holds 37 towns, 125 mines, and 40 monoliths and portals, along with wandering Titans, Archangels and Black Dragons, and Armageddon's Blade is among the placed artifacts.
