Dark time — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Dark Time is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles for two players, with only one human seat and the Blue Necropolis side left to the computer. Normal difficulty applies, and there are no teams. The Red player leads a Castle hero, while Blue fields a Necropolis force. Most of the land is rock, with grass covering about a quarter and subterranean ground making up the rest. The author frames the story as a collapsing world that only the player's hero can save by recovering the Angelic Alliance, a sword that must not fall into evil hands. Victory requires acquiring that artifact, and the hero can lose if a specific hero is lost. The map holds three towns, two starting heroes, a Grail, the Angelic Alliance alongside the Clover of Fortune and the Helm of the Alabaster Unicorn, and a large number of wandering troglodytes and skeletons.
