The Lone Knight — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Lone Knight is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and Impossible difficulty. Its story centers on a kingdom where the king has been left incapacitated and the queen has been exiled by a corrupt prime minister, so the realm needs heroes to restore order. Eight players take part in five teams, with up to four human players, while Red, Blue, Tan and Green are computer-controlled. The factions are Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, Conflux, Dungeon, Necropolis and Inferno, and Tan's faction is random. About 30 percent of the terrain is water and a third is rock. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. The Grail is placed on the map, and a Titan and two Archangels roam the land.
