Where the Beauty — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Where the Beauty is an Extra Large 144x144 underground map for Shadow of Death, designed for eight players, with four colors reserved for human players and four held by the computer. Players compete without teams under an Impossible difficulty setting, and a win requires defeating every enemy, while a loss comes when a player has no towns or heroes left. The factions are mixed: Tan plays Rampart, Green plays Fortress, Orange plays Stronghold, Purple plays Tower, Pink plays Castle, and Red, Blue and Teal are assigned at random. Water covers about 28 percent of the surface, with rock, grass and subterranean ground making up most of the rest. Players will find 48 towns, 36 seer huts, 102 mines and 53 monoliths and portals, along with a Grail, several artifacts and wandering stacks of Phoenixes, Archangels and Vampire Lords.
