Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Vengeance is Mine is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death map with an underground level and an Expert difficulty rating. Eight players share the field, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red and Blue play Stronghold, with Tan on Fortress, Green on Rampart, Orange on Necropolis, Purple on Tower, Teal on Castle, and Pink on Dungeon. Victory requires defeating one specific hero, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Dirt covers the most ground, followed by swamp, grass, and water. The map holds 34 towns, 59 mines, 15 creature banks, 18 monoliths and portals, and the Grail. The author's description reflects on suffering as a route to spiritual insight.

Author's description

Self-consciousness is not a gift bestowed by Fate; rather, it represents the utmost peak of Spirituality - an aim for which only the truly suffering will strive. But suffering comes from endless sources, and those who are slaves to the flesh shall forever remain ignorant of these different nuances.
