It supports seven players, of whom up to three can be human, and the four computer-only colors are Tan, Orange, Teal and Pink. There are no teams. Red and Blue each may choose from eight factions, while the computer colors are assigned single factions: Inferno for Tan, Tower for Green, and Rampart for Orange, Teal and Pink.

Grass, subterranean ground, water and lava make up most of the terrain, with water covering about 13 percent. Notable features include eight towns, seventeen placed heroes, and wandering Medusa Queens, Gold Golems and Gold Dragons. Scattered artifacts include the Hourglass of the Evil Hour and several endless gold sources, and the map holds numerous mines, seer huts and monoliths.
