Your islnads, Mylord! — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Set on an Extra Large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, this Expert-difficulty Shadow of Death map takes its theme from its author's playful description of islands that look like something floating in a soup. Five players can take part, all of them human-controllable, split into two teams. Red's faction is random, Blue plays Castle, Tan plays Necropolis, Green plays Rampart, and Orange plays Conflux. About 45 percent of the terrain is rock and about 23 percent is water. To win, you must defeat all enemies, and you lose if time expires after 84 days. Notable finds include the Grail, the Sphere of Permanence, the Sword of Hellfire, and roaming Azure Dragons.
