The King of Fighters '97 — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The King of Fighters '97 is an extra large, 144 by 144 map for the Shadow of Death expansion, with an underground level included. It casts eight players, seven of them open to humans, with the Red player controlled only by the computer. No teams are set, and the factions are Necropolis, Dungeon, Castle, Rampart, two Conflux players, Stronghold and Tower. The story centers on an ancient foe waking to threaten the world, and the win condition is to defeat a specific hero, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 42 percent of the land and water about 17 percent. Among the content are 24 towns, 35 heroes, 76 mines, 89 creature banks, and the Grail. Wandering Hobgoblins and Phoenixes appear, along with a Pit Lord and an Ancient Behemoth, and the map is set on the Impossible difficulty.
