Xeron Strikes Back — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Xeron Strikes Back is a medium-sized underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, set for two players where only one can be human and the other, playing Red with Inferno, is computer-controlled. The Green side fields Rampart, and there are no teams. The author's own blurb describes the evil forces returning after the player has rescued their creatures and recovered the War Unicorn, and the game is set to Impossible difficulty. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while the player loses if a specific hero falls. The terrain is mostly rock, grass, and lava, with a little water and subterranean ground. Notable features include a Grail, three towns, three artifacts placed by hand, and many wandering monsters, among them Devils, Arch Devils, and Cerberus.
