The Story of the Fool — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

The Story of the Fool is a large underground-capable map of 108 by 108 tiles, rated hard, that comes from the second episode of a three-part campaign by Timothy Duncan. It is built for eight players with a single human seat and seven computer-controlled colors, grouped into six teams. The factions in play include Necropolis, Dungeon, Conflux, Castle, and Stronghold, spread across the colors. Victory comes from building a Grail structure, while a player loses once all towns and heroes are gone. Water covers about 18 percent of the surface, with grass and subterranean ground making up much of the rest. Notable features include a Grail, many quest guards and mines, and a large number of wandering elementals, along with dwellings holding creatures such as Unicorns, Green Dragons, and Iron Golems, plus a set of Legion armor pieces and several pendants.
