The Test Of Time — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Test Of Time is a medium 72x72 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, designed for three players, of whom only one can be human, with the two computer-only colors Orange and Purple. Green and Orange play random factions, while Purple fields Inferno, and two teams are set up. The author's story is that a volcano lord demands 1,000,000 gold within a year or the land is destroyed, and the goal is to accumulate that gold before time runs out, which is set at 336 days. Terrain is mostly rock, grass, water, and subterranean ground, and the map holds five towns, one starting hero, 61 random monster stacks, 26 random artifacts, 20 mines, and 29 monoliths and portals. Notable finds include Endless Gold bags, a Titan's Thunder, and several dragon stacks roaming the field.
