Diamond Isle — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Diamond Isle is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, set for one human player against a computer opponent at the Impossible difficulty. The human plays Dungeon against a computer-controlled Tower side in the Blue color, and there are no teams. The story centers on a rebellious mage who has seized the throne, while the former queen, backed by forces from the underworld, tries to take it back. Terrain is mostly rock, with water covering about 29 percent of the land and snow the remainder. Victory requires defeating every enemy, and the game is lost if a specific hero falls. The map holds six towns, five placed heroes, fifteen mines, and twenty random artifacts. Wandering stacks of Master Gremlins, Stone Golems, and Obsidian Gargoyles are among the more numerous guards, and there are five creature banks and two quest guards.
