Wyzwania — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The map Wyzwania is an Extra Large 144 by 144 Shadow of Death scenario with an underground level, set for eight players who can all be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Its title is the only description in the listing, along with an author note that encourages players to read every event message and visit the tavern, and to ignore diplomacy as useless. Each color starts with a different town type: Castle, two Strongholds, Tower, Rampart, Necropolis, Dungeon, and Inferno. Victory comes from upgrading a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The difficulty is set to Impossible. Subterranean ground covers about a quarter of the map, with grass, water and rough land making up much of the rest. The map holds 28 towns, 19 heroes, and 129 mines, along with a Grail, 54 monoliths and portals, and 15 timed events.
