Buiding the Spirit — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Building the Spirit is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, played on two levels, with four players: one human and three computer-controlled. The human player takes the Red Necropolis side, while the Blue Inferno, the Tan Rampart and Dungeon combination, and the Green Fortress are controlled by the AI. There are no teams. The author's story frames a stranger searching beneath the land for a powerful wizard, and the goal is to acquire one specific artifact, while losing one specific hero ends the game. Rock covers about half the map, with dirt, lava and rough ground making up most of the rest. The map holds 15 towns, 7 heroes, 44 mines, 36 creature banks and 28 monoliths and portals, along with many placed artifacts, including the Cape of Conjuring and Pendant of Holiness. Difficulty is set to Expert and hero level is capped at 40.
