The House of Flame — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The House of Flame is a medium Shadow of Death map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Five colors compete in four teams, with only one seat open to a human player and the rest run by the computer. Inferno, Castle, Stronghold, Fortress and Dungeon are all in play. In the description's premise, the player and their Archangels must stop a fire lord who threatens the greener lands. Water, rock, grass and lava make up most of the terrain. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and losing a particular hero ends the game. Notable features include the Grail, fifteen monoliths and portals, four seer huts, and 29 timed events.
