Voyage of Death — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Voyage of Death is a medium-sized, 72 by 72 map for Shadow of Death with an underground level, rated Hard. It is set up for three players, with up to two human participants, and the third color, Tan, is controlled by the computer. There are no teams. Red plays Castle, Tan plays Inferno, and Blue's faction is random. Victory requires acquiring the Power of the Dragon Father, a key said to be hidden in the waters, which make up about a third of the terrain. Players lose if time runs out after 196 days. The map holds three towns, four pre-placed heroes, twenty-five mines, and eleven monoliths and portals, along with many wandering monsters, including water and dragon stacks, plus a set of placed artifacts such as the Ring of the Magi and the Necklace of Ocean Guidance.
