Expedition — SoD

Expedition is an extra large 144 by 144 map with an underground level, rated expert. Five players take part, but only one seat can be human, and the other four colors (Tan, Green, Teal and Pink) are computer controlled. There are no teams. Red and Tan play Castle, Green plays Rampart, Teal combines Necropolis and Fortress, and Pink plays Stronghold. The author frames the premise as a hero sent to explore and conquer unfamiliar lands. Rock covers about half the terrain and water roughly 29 percent, with smaller shares of grass and dirt. Seventeen towns, 64 mines and 116 random monster stacks are spread across the map, along with wandering stacks such as a Rust Dragon and a Master Genie. Notable artifacts include Armageddon's Blade and the Sword of Judgement. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero.
