The Pirate Cove — SoD
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
The Pirate Cove is a medium-sized map measuring 72 by 72 tiles, with an underground level, built around a chain of islands that the author describes as the long-time home of a large pirate fleet. It is rated Expert and supports four players, with only one human seat and three computer-controlled colors: Tan, Orange, and Purple. Green, Purple, and Tan play Rampart, Fortress, and Stronghold among the factions in play, and no teams are set. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses if a specific hero is lost. About a fifth of the terrain is water, with rock and grass making up most of the rest. Highlights include eight towns, nine placed heroes, a Grail, and several artifacts, along with eleven Rogue stacks as wandering monsters, 31 mines, and three monoliths and portals.
