Vanadia SOD Edition — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Vanadia SOD Edition is an extra large Shadow of Death map measuring 144 by 144 tiles, with underground levels and an Impossible difficulty setting. Eight players can all be human, each controlling one of the eight factions, and there are no teams. According to the author's description, monsters have ruled the land for three centuries, and the only cure is a spellbinder's hat that was stolen and must be won back. Victory requires acquiring that specific artifact, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Terrain is mostly grass, subterranean, dirt and lava, with about ten percent water. The map holds 44 towns, 23 heroes, 133 mines and 535 random monster stacks, along with placed artifacts such as the Angelic Alliance and the Elixir of Life.
