Valley of the Elves — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Valley of the Elves is an extra large underground map for Shadow of Death, played on a 144 by 144 field at expert difficulty. A new ruler inherits a throne already torn by war, and the greatest threat lies beyond the conflicts. Eight colors compete without teams, with seven open to humans and Red reserved for the computer. Factions include Inferno, Necropolis, Tower, Castle, and Fortress, among others. Winning requires building a Grail structure, while losing means forfeiting all towns and heroes. Expect 40 towns, 126 mines, wandering Wraiths and Azure Dragons, and artifacts such as the Armor of Wonder.
