Underground — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Underground is an extra large, 144 by 144 map for Shadow of Death that includes an underground level, so the action runs both below and above ground. The author's description frames it as a race to become ruler of the underground or to defend the surface world against dark forces. Eight players can take part, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Four players start as Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Fortress, or Conflux, and the other four as Inferno, Necropolis, or Dungeon, with difficulty set to Normal. Water and rock cover most of the land, with grass and sand making up the rest. Players win by defeating all enemies and lose if they have no towns or heroes left. Notable features include 26 towns, 10 starting heroes, and a Ghost Dragon among the wandering monsters, along with 73 mines and 14 seer huts.
