The Uprising — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Uprising is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 and set at Impossible difficulty. Its premise is a king bewitched by an evil spirit, with rival rulers and loyal generals rising against him. Eight players take part, with up to four human players, while the Orange, Purple, Teal and Pink colors are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Rampart, Blue Castle, Tan Dungeon, and Green Stronghold with Fortress, and the other colors mix several factions. Water covers about 69 percent of the map, which holds 48 towns, 52 heroes, a Grail, and artifacts such as the Golden Bow. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
