Ultima III - Exodus — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ultima III - Exodus is an extra large 144 by 144 underground-capable map for Shadow of Death, built around the Sosarian setting of the Ultima series and set for Expert difficulty. Eight players share the map, but only one can be human, with the other seven computer-controlled, and the players are split into two teams. The factions include Stronghold, Castle, Inferno, Tower, Fortress with Conflux, Rampart, and Necropolis. Water covers about 29 percent of the land, with rock, grass, and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. The map holds 19 towns and 11 heroes, with a Grail somewhere on the board, along with 41 mines, 20 seer huts, 27 monoliths and portals, and a range of placed artifacts. Victory requires capturing a specific town, while a side loses when it has no towns and no heroes left.
