Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

It is rated Expert and supports two players, with one human seat and a computer-only Red side whose faction is random, opposing a Blue player who controls the Fortress. There are no teams. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map is roughly 29 percent water, with swamp, dirt and rough ground making up most of the rest. Its five towns, four starting heroes and a mix of wandering monsters include Hydras, Serpent Flies and Dragon Flies, with several placed artifacts and nineteen mines.
