The war of the neighbors — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The War of the Neighbors is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, measuring 144 by 144 tiles across two levels. Eight rulers, all human-playable with no computer-only colors and no teams, compete to locate the Grail, and the first to build a Grail structure wins, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The factions are Rampart, Tower, Fortress, Castle, Stronghold, Inferno, Dungeon and Necropolis, one per color. The map is rated Expert and is roughly 35 percent rock and 18 percent water. Its 32 towns are supported by 122 mines, 301 random monster stacks, 39 random artifacts and 16 monoliths and portals. Placed artifacts include Angel Wings, Boots of Speed and the Orb of Vulnerability, and the Grail itself is on the map.
