Way Home(SOD version) — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Way Home (SOD version) is an Extra Large 144x144 map with an underground level, built for Shadow of Death and rated Expert. Eight players take part, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled. Players form two teams. The factions in play are Castle, Necropolis, Tower, Inferno, and Dungeon, spread across the eight colors. The victory goal is to transport a specific artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The landscape is split roughly evenly among grass, water, and snow, with some swamp. Notable features include the Grail, wandering stacks of Titans and Wraiths, and a large set of artifacts and dwellings, though the map's story has a dark, dragon-driven premise.
