The Rebirth — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Rebirth is a Shadow of Death map set on a peninsula where plains and forests have seen many kingdoms rise and fall, and where few rulers now remain. Its extra large 144 by 144 grid includes underground levels and carries an Expert rating. Three human players can compete, and no teams are used. Water covers 35 percent of the terrain. Blue begins with seven factions, while Green and Teal each have six. Victory requires transporting one specific artifact, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. The map holds 23 towns, 27 monoliths and portals, 13 seer huts, and the Grail.
