The Uprising — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Uprising is an Extra Large 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death, with an underground level and Impossible difficulty. Its story follows a king who has been bewitched by an evil spirit, and discontented rulers, loyal generals, and restless citizens rise against him. Up to eight human players can take part, with no teams set. Three colors start with every faction in play, while the others begin with one or two. Water covers about 69 percent of the terrain and grass about 7 percent. The map contains 48 towns, 52 heroes, the Grail, and placed artifacts such as the Armor of Wonder and the Ring of the Magi. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
