Tower of Authority — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Tower of Authority is an Extra Large surface map of 144 by 144 tiles for Shadow of Death, set among the islands of a vast sea where five human-playable kingdoms and three computer-only colors are drawn into open war after a long peace breaks down. The map supports eight players in six teams, with five seats available to humans, and is rated Expert. Each color fields a different town type, from Tower and Fortress to Necropolis, and the victory condition is to defeat all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. Nearly half the map is water, with grass making up most of the land. Notable features include the Grail, a wide scatter of wandering monsters and random artifacts, and several placed artifacts, along with 52 mines, 12 creature banks, and 42 timed events.
