The Soul Market — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Soul Market is an extra large underground map measuring 144 by 144, built for Shadow of Death and played at Impossible difficulty. Eight players share the field, but only one can be human, and there are no teams. The factions are Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Fortress, Castle, Inferno, Necropolis and Dungeon. The description suggests that rivals must be defeated and that finding a titan who holds a magic tome is worth doing early. Victory requires acquiring a specific artifact, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Water covers about a quarter of the land, with rock, swamp and grass making up most of the rest. The map includes 34 towns, 141 mines, 21 seer huts and the Grail, along with roaming vampire lords and devils.
