Hat of Admiral — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Hat of Admiral is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, set on Impossible difficulty. Seven players take part, with up to four human players alongside three computer-only colors, Tan, Orange and Teal, and there are no fixed teams. The factions are Castle for Red, Necropolis for Blue, Dungeon for Tan, Conflux for Green, Stronghold for Orange, Fortress for Purple and Tower for Teal. Water covers nearly half the terrain, with rock making up much of the rest, and 18 towns are spread across it. Wandering stacks include Titans, Ghost Dragons and Chaos Hydras, alongside 120 random monster stacks. Placed artifacts include the Sword of Hellfire and the Necklace of Ocean Guidance. Victory requires acquiring one specific artifact, which the author ties to the admiral's hat, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes.
