Ranin the Nobody — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This small 36 by 36 map includes an underground level and is rated Expert. Three colors play, but only one can be human, and Red and Tan are computer-controlled. No teams are used. Red and Green play Castle, while Tan combines Dungeon and Stronghold. The description centers on an overlooked hero who sets out to prove his worth. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and the game is lost if 140 days pass. Subterranean ground covers nearly half the map, with grass and dirt making up much of the rest. Troglodytes, minotaurs and ogres roam the area, and players can find nine seer huts, twelve monoliths and portals, and fifteen placed artifacts.

The nephew of the famous Luthur Sterling, Ranin has never recieved much attention by the public. As a matter of fact, in his town, he's always been known as a worthless nothing! Well, enough's enough! It's time to show them Ranin Sterling can be just as big a hero as dumb ol' Luthur!
