Wilderness and Caves — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Wilderness and Caves is a four-player map for Shadow of Death, played on a large 108 by 108 grid with an underground level. The author, Lennart Mumm, describes a newly found cave system that the neighbouring rivals are also starting to explore, and the goal is to beat them and claim the underground, with the swamp offering some help. Each of the four players starts with a random faction, there are no teams, and no computer-only colours, so up to four humans can take part. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player is eliminated after losing all towns and heroes. Rock, subterranean and swamp ground make up most of the terrain, with snow covering a smaller share and no water. Seven towns, sixteen monoliths and portals, and ten creature banks are scattered across the map, along with a set of Legion artifacts and an Orb of Silt.
