Heatseeker — RoE

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Heatseeker is a small underground map measuring 36 by 36, rated for hard play, with lava covering about 39 percent of its surface and rock, subterranean ground and water making up most of the rest. It is built for the Restoration of Erathia version and supports two players, though only one can be human; the Red side is controlled by the computer. There are no teams. Red fields an Inferno force while Green plays Rampart. The player must defeat a specific hero to win, and losing a particular town ends the game. The author describes a demonic army under Dagbrah issuing an ultimatum, and the player is asked to answer Cuthbert's call for help. The map holds four towns, six placed heroes, seventeen mines, six monoliths and portals, and two timed events. Wandering monsters include Magog, Pit Fiend and Archangel stacks, and dwellings offer Hell Hounds, Demons and Fire Elementals.
