* Xathras's Prize * — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large underground map, measuring 108 by 108, centers on a search for the Grail, which the city of Xathras hopes to speed up with a generous reward. Seven players share the field, with up to five controlled by humans and the Blue and Teal colors left to the computer. There are no teams. Every player has access to all eight towns, and victory requires defeating all enemies, while losing every town and hero ends a game. Rock covers much of the terrain, with water at about 18 percent. Sixteen towns, fifty mines, ten creature banks, 38 random artifacts, and four monoliths and portals are spread across the map, along with wandering monsters such as manticores, ogres, and walking dead. Three timed events add pressure, and difficulty is set to normal.
