Office Space — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Office Space is a single-player-focused medium map set on an underground level, with a 72 by 72 tile layout. The author's framing casts the player as a researcher at a lab complex who has noticed troubling side effects from experiments and sets out to confront the man behind them. The map plays on Hard difficulty and supports five players, with one human player and four computer-controlled colors. Only the Teal player is assigned a fixed faction, Rampart, while the others are random. Rock covers nearly half the terrain, and the map has six towns, a Grail structure, and a range of wandering dragons, hydras, and elementals. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, and the player loses by losing all towns and heroes.

You are Jack Price, researcher at Boragus Labs Inc. You've noticed that most of the experiments that go on around the complex have some sort of terrible aftereffects, which you believe to be sanctioned by Boragus himself... it's time to get to him and get some answers!
