Underground Island — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Underground Island is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, sized 144 by 144, built for five players with four computer-only colors and a single human seat, arranged in four teams. The factions are Rampart for Red, Fortress for Blue, Stronghold for Tan, Tower for Green, and Inferno for Orange. The author describes it as a land with a few missions where players can largely do as they like. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and losing a specific hero ends the game. Rock, water, dirt and swamp make up most of the terrain, with water covering about a fifth of the surface. The map holds 39 towns, 12 placed heroes, 143 mines and 27 monoliths or portals, along with many wandering monsters, including Archangels, Wraiths and several dragon types.
