World of Madness — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

World of Madness is an Extra Large 144x144 underground map for Shadow of Death, rated Impossible, that has six players, two teams, and room for only two human players. Two heroes from Erathia start the story, and the author's description frames the struggle as one to survive together in a strange and hostile land. Red plays Dungeon, Blue plays Tower, and the four computer-only colors field Rampart paired with Necropolis, Fortress, Inferno, or Stronghold. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The terrain is mostly dirt, swamp, and rough ground, with water covering about 8 percent. Notable features include a large population of Gold and Diamond Golems roaming the map, Wyvern Monarchs and Crystal Dragons, and a set of placed artifacts such as the Orb of Silt and the Elixir of Life.
