The Magnificent Seven — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Magnificent Seven is a large expert-difficulty underground map for Shadow of Death, played on a 108 by 108 board. The description casts the player as someone who frees villagers held in slavery below ground and searches for the ruins of a Dungeon that once kept peace among the towns. One human player can join eight colors in total, with no teams. Six computer colors hold Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and Fortress towns, while Pink is a Dungeon opponent. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 38 percent of the map and water about 28 percent. Peasants wander the lands in large numbers, and the Crystal Dragon and Ghost Dragon are among the wandering monsters, alongside artifacts such as the Sword of Judgement.
