Keep at the End of the World — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Keep at the End of the World is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles, set on Hard difficulty for up to seven human players, with Tan reserved for the computer. Eight factions share the field: Conflux, Inferno, Castle, Fortress, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon and Tower, one per player, and no teams are set. The story follows Sylva, a defeated foe who is working to regain her strength and reconquer Erathia, and it asks whether the player will be ready to stop her. Victory requires defeating a specific hero, and the game is lost if time runs out after 224 days. About 30 percent of the surface is water. Notable finds include the Grail, fifteen placed artifacts such as the Titan's Gladius, and dragons guarding dwellings.
