Trial of Flame — HotA 1.3.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Trial of Flame is a single-player underground map set in a harsh desert, where a novice magician must prove himself by clearing the local monsters within a two-month deadline. The map is small at 36 by 36 tiles and is played on one level, with sand covering about half the ground, rock much of the rest, and a small amount of lava. The player controls the Cove faction alone, and no other colors or teams take part. Victory requires defeating every monster on the map, and the game is lost if time runs out after 56 days. Wandering stacks include mummies, nomads, a demon, an arch devil, and a gold golem, while dwellings house efreet, firebirds, and fire elementals. Artifacts such as the Sword of Hellfire and the Endless Purse of Gold are scattered across the map, alongside mines, creature banks, and timed events.
