Admiral's Hat — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Admiral's Hat is a small underground map measuring 36 by 36 tiles, played by four players in two teams, with Red and Blue as the human-capable sides and Green and Pink controlled by the computer. The story concerns a sacred relic that has been taken by mercenaries, and the mission is to carry that specific artifact to safety. Players start with a choice of factions: Red can field Inferno, Necropolis or Dungeon, Blue Castle, Rampart or Tower, Green Stronghold, Fortress or Conflux, and Pink Tower. Terrain is mostly grass, swamp and rough ground, with no water. Eight towns, a set of wandering monsters including an Angel, a Chaos Hydra and a Crystal Dragon, and twelve random artifacts are scattered across the map. The map is rated hard, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
