The Lord of the Rings — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Lord of the Rings is a large 108 by 108 scenario for Shadow of Death that includes an underground level and is rated expert. Six player colors are set up, but only three can be human, and three of them are computer-only. Players form two teams and take on Rampart, Tower, Castle, Dungeon, and Stronghold, with Rampart appearing twice. The victory condition is to transport a specific artifact, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers about half the terrain, with dirt, grass, and water making up the rest. Wandering Orc Chieftains are the most common threat, and the map also holds a Grail, 42 mines, and 13 creature banks.
