The hero world — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Hero World is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and Expert difficulty. A young hero rises to stop a dragon whose arrival foretells the world's end. Eight players, all human-capable, each start with a random faction and no teams. Rock covers 47 percent of the terrain, water 34 percent and grass 6 percent. The map holds 17 towns, 11 heroes, 63 mines, 13 creature banks, 21 monoliths and portals, the Grail, and Armageddon's Blade. Victory requires defeating all enemies; a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
