To the Center of the Earth — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

To the Center of the Earth is an extra large underground map for eight players, split into four teams, with every faction chosen at random. The author describes a legendary city of Utopia hidden deep within the planet, and conquering it is presented as a major advantage. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, and a player loses once all of their towns and heroes are gone. Rock covers about a third of the 144 by 144 tiles and water roughly 29 percent, with grass and snow making up smaller shares. The map holds 42 towns, 79 mines, 26 creature banks, 18 monoliths and portals, the Grail, and several placed artifacts. Wandering monsters include ice elementals and hydras, and dwellings hold creatures ranging from angels to behemoths.
