The War (Shadow) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The War is a large Shadow of Death map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, with an underground level. Its world is split into five lands: four surface countries and one cave. Each player rules one realm as a war breaks out. Four players can take part, all of them human if desired, divided into two teams with randomly assigned factions. The terrain is mostly rock, with grass, sand and snow covering much of the rest and very little water. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is set to Expert. Ten towns lie across the map, along with wandering monsters, creature dwellings guarded by dragons, angels and giants, and nine named artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius and Thunder Helmet, plus mines and seer huts.
