Underworld Malice — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Underworld Malice is an extra large Shadow of Death map spanning 144 by 144 tiles, with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Eight colors take part, split into four teams, and up to six of them can be played by humans while Teal and Pink are reserved for the computer. The factions mix Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold and Dungeon, with Castle appearing most often. The terrain is mostly rock, grass and water, with dirt making up the rest. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. The surface is crowded with 35 towns, 132 mines, 25 creature banks and many wandering stacks, including dwarves, archangels and dragons, and a Boots of Speed sits among the placed artifacts. The author suggests that the surface feud is best experienced from the Green or Blue seat.
