Gate to the Hell — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Gate to the Hell is a large underground map measuring 108 by 108, rated hard, for five players, with at most three controlled by humans. Red and Orange are computer-only, and there are no fixed teams. The factions are Necropolis, Castle, Tower, Rampart, and Inferno. The story follows three kings who rose against a necromancer, and the first to seize Hellgate and seal the gate to Hell. Victory comes from capturing a specific town, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. About a sixth of the land is water, with much of the rest rock and rough ground. Across the map are 23 towns, 225 monster stacks, 86 mines, and the Grail. Notable finds include the Sea Captain's Hat and the Shackles of War, along with 57 random artifacts, eight monoliths and portals, and one seer hut.
