Hail Unicorns! Blade Version — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hail Unicorns! Blade Version is a medium-sized map of 72 by 72 tiles for three players, with no underground level and no teams, so each side fights alone. Players start with random factions, and all three seats can be human. Sand, snow, grass and water make up the terrain, with water covering about a fifth of the surface. Victory comes from defeating all enemies, and a player loses once every town and hero is gone. The map is rated Expert. Ten towns, four heroes, and many wandering Unicorn and War Unicorn stacks populate the land, alongside a Nomad, dwellings for Halflings, Boars and Rogues, mines, creature banks, and a large number of monoliths and portals.
