Ultima — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ultima is an extra large underground map of 144 by 144 tiles for eight players, all of whom can be human, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The author frames it as an exploration of a vast continent, where players can pursue treasure, quests, or straightforward combat. Terrain is mostly rock, water, and grass, with some snow, and water covers about 30 percent of the surface. The factions are mixed across players, with several seats combining two to five towns' worth of options, and the map includes 30 towns in total. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Notable features include 125 mines, 32 monoliths and portals, 11 seer huts, five creature banks, and the Grail, along with 23 random artifacts and a set of placed artifacts. Wandering monsters and dwellings add to the encounters across the map.
