Kid Heretic — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Kid Heretic is a medium-sized underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, rated hard, that casts the player on a quest for the Holy Grail. The author's blurb frames the journey as a crusade through the city of Foss, domain of Uxnator, where the choices made toward its inhabitants decide whether they become allies or are branded heretics. The map holds eight player colors across five teams, with only one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors. Factions are Inferno for Red and Pink, Castle for Blue and Teal, Dungeon, Conflux, Necropolis, and Tower for the remaining colors. Victory requires building a Grail structure, and the game is lost if time runs out. Notable features include 19 towns, 16 mines, 23 seer huts, 60 quest guards, and a Grail on the map, along with numerous wandering monsters, creature banks, and monoliths and portals.
