The Lord of War — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Lord of War is a single-player scenario built for Shadow of Death, set across an extra large 144 by 144 underground-enabled map at Impossible difficulty. Eight colors take part, but only one seat is human and the other seven are computer-controlled, with no teams. The factions include Tower, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, Castle, Inferno, Rampart and Necropolis, with Red alone holding two. Water covers about a quarter of the surface, with subterranean, grass and lava ground making up most of the rest. The goal is to defeat every enemy, while the player loses if a specific hero falls. The map holds 48 towns, 41 pre-placed heroes, 64 mines, 21 creature banks and 12 monoliths and portals, plus wandering stacks of Minotaur Kings and Zealots, the Grail, and a set of named artifacts including Titan's Gladius and the Tome of Fire Magic.
