Gateway to Hades — RoE
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Gateway to Hades is a medium underground map of 72 by 72 tiles, designed for one human player against computer opponents, with four colors in total and a hard difficulty setting. The author describes Hades, ruler of the underworld, finding a way to send his forces to the surface, and the player must halt him before he grows too strong by taking down his palace. Red plays as Rampart and Purple as Inferno, while Blue and Tan receive random factions. Terrain is mostly grass, rock, and lava, with a small share of dirt and water. The map has eight towns, four heroes, and many wandering monsters, along with mines, creature banks, monoliths, and eleven artifacts placed on the map. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and the player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
