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. It opens with the king left incapacitated and the queen exiled by a villainous prime minister, leaving the realm needing champions. Eight players may take part, up to four of them human, while Red, Blue, Tan and Green are computer-only. Five teams compete. The seven named factions are Rampart, Stronghold, Fortress, Conflux, Dungeon, Necropolis and Inferno, while Tan's faction is random. Victory means defeating every enemy, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 48 towns, a Grail, Titans, Archangels and placed artifacts.
