The highest challenge. — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Highest Challenge is a medium surface map of 72 by 72 tiles for Shadow of Death, set at Expert difficulty. Four players each begin with a town and a hero, all four seats can be human, and the players form two teams. Red plays Castle and Conflux, Blue plays Fortress, Tan plays Tower, and Green plays Inferno. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. The terrain mixes grass, swamp, lava and snow, with about seven percent water. The map has 28 mines and four seer huts, plus wandering stacks such as Pit Lords and Master Genies, creature dwellings, and eight placed artifacts, including Armageddon's Blade and Titan's Thunder. Heroes can reach level 50. The author frames the scenario as a push toward great power before the final fight.
