the UNITY of CHINA — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The UNITY of CHINA is a large 108 by 108 map for Shadow of Death, rated Hard, with no underground level. Six factions are set in a long-running standoff, and the author frames the story around one hero who rises to unify the land, with a player choosing one of five human-controllable sides. Six players are placed, with Purple left to the computer, and there are no teams. Water covers 56 percent of the surface, with grass, rough ground and snow making up the rest. Each side fields a different town type, including Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Castle with Inferno, Fortress and Necropolis. The victory condition is to defeat all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Notable features include six Vampire Lords and two Azure Dragons roaming the map, 52 mines, 13 creature banks, 31 random artifacts and 13 placed named artifacts.
