Gate to the Hell — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gate to the Hell is a hard, large underground map measuring 108 by 108. Five players compete, up to three of them human, while Red and Orange are computer-controlled, with no teams. The factions are Necropolis, Castle, Tower, Rampart and Inferno. The premise pits three rulers against a necromancer's growing power, with the race to seize Hellgate and seal the Hell. Victory requires capturing that town, and a player is eliminated by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers 34 percent of the land and water 18 percent. The map contains 23 towns, 86 mines, 225 random monster stacks and the Grail, plus the Sea Captain's Hat and Shackles of War.
