Talisman — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Talisman is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, played on two levels, and rated hard. It supports seven players, all of whom may be human, with no teams. Each player starts with a different town type: Castle, Tower, Dungeon, Rampart, Stronghold, Necropolis, and Fortress. The story casts you as a young magician defending a home territory against creatures that have settled nearby and threaten to destroy you, and you must gather several artifacts and combine them into a more powerful talisman while fighting. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 36 percent of the terrain and water about 31 percent, with sand and grass making up much of the rest. Wandering monsters, dwellings, and placed artifacts are scattered across the map, including an Armageddon's Blade and an Elixir of Life.
