Theophobia — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Theophobia is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108 tiles, played by up to eight players, with only one human seat and seven computer-controlled colors, and no teams. The author describes it as a departure from the usual conquer-everyone format, and the victory condition is to transport a specific artifact, while losing a specific hero ends the game. Factions include Castle, Stronghold, Necropolis, Dungeon, Fortress, Rampart, and Conflux, spread across the players. Water covers about a quarter of the terrain, with dirt, grass, and rock making up most of the rest. Scattered across the map are 23 towns, 36 heroes, 58 mines, and a Grail, along with wandering stacks of Phoenixes, Azure Dragons, and Water Elementals. Timed events, quest guards, and monoliths and portals also shape how players move around the map.
