Crystal Sword — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Crystal Sword is a small 36 by 36 map set on an underground level and rated hard. It supports two players, but only one can be human, and the Purple side is computer controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Rampart and Purple plays Tower. The story centers on a magical blade that once united creatures, which a villain named Xentar seized. Victory requires transporting a specific artifact, and losing a specific hero ends the game. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, subterranean ground and snow, with no water. The map includes four towns, three starting heroes and 21 mines, along with the Buckler of the Gnoll King, the Clover of Fortune and the Speculum.
