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 plays on the Shadow of Death version of the game. It is set for eight players, with only one seat open to a human and the other seven taken by computer opponents, grouped into five teams. The factions in play are Inferno, Castle, Dungeon, Conflux, Necropolis, and Tower. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and the game is lost if time runs out. The author's description frames the quest as a crusade to the city of Foss, where your reception by its inhabitants decides whether they join you or condemn you as a heretic. The map holds 19 towns, 16 mines, 22 seer huts, and 13 creature banks, along with the Grail itself, 35 monoliths and portals, and wandering monsters including monks, zealots, and crystal dragons.
