Monk's Retreat — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Monk's Retreat is a large six-player map on a 108 by 108 tile grid with an underground level. Its story casts each player as a lord freed after monks who had ruled the region are driven back to their home islands, and the goal is to unite the lands under one rule. Six players can all be human, with no teams and no computer-only colours, and each player's faction is random. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, with dirt, water and grass making up most of the rest. The map holds ten towns, 56 mines, 15 creature banks and 43 randomly placed artifacts, along with 109 random monster stacks. Wandering groups include skeleton warriors, zombies and monks, and dwellings house monks, air elementals and rogues.
