Pandora's Box

2013-03-28T15:47:15Z

Daniel: Wrote some more about learning secondary skills not intended for the hero class, Wrote an example to clearify that.

An [[Adventure map]] object where a hero can gain or lose:
(Lose applies only where specifically indicated in brackets below.)
*[[Experience]]
*[[Spell Point]]s (gain or lose)
*[[Luck]] (+3 to -3)
*[[Morale]] (+3 to -3)
*[[Resources]] (gain or lose)
*[[Primary Skills]]
*[[Secondary Skills]]
*[[Artifact]]s
*[[Spell]]s
*[[Creature]]s

The contents of the box and any guardians are set by the mapmaker.

The box disappears after a hero successfully opens it.

==Comments==
*Secondary skills not normally available to a [[:Category:Hero classes|hero class]] '''will''' be learned. For example [[Leadership]] can be learned with a [[Necropolis]] [[:Category:Heroes|hero]], [[Death Knights]] or [[Necromancers]].
*A hero must have the required level of Wisdom to learn any spells that may be in the box.
*Much more common on random maps than custom ones. On random maps, one could the contents to be
**5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 or 25000 [[Gold]]
**5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 or 25000 [[Experience]]
**All [[Spells]] of either a certain level, or belonging to a certain school
**A number of creatures, usually between 50 and 100.

Inferno

2013-02-25T20:13:12Z

Daniel: added a link to Familiars Magic channel ability and added a link to the "list of heroes page" when referring to heroes.

The [[Inferno]] is an Evil [[alignment]] [[town]] focused mainly on offensive magic.

==Overview==

Inferno towns appear in the regions of Erathia where demons rise from hell to the surface. [[Demoniacs]] and [[Heretics]] managed to form an alliance with the inhabitants of Inferno. The Inferno troops are great in hand-to-hand combat. The main flaw of the Inferno army is the lack of shooters, but it's compensated by its relatively fast build tree and the high damage output of its creatures. The fast [[Efreet Sultan]]s, the terrible [[Devil]]s, and the [[Pit Lord]]s with their demon-herding ability make them a serious force.

Inferno deals with everything that is fire. Although often considered a weak town, Inferno still has some nasty advantages. Put simply, Inferno isn't bad at all, it's just more difficult to play with.

==Structures==

{{StandardBuildings|5|[[Mercury]]}}

===Inferno Specific Buildings===

*[[Birthing Pool]]
*[[Brimstone Clouds]]
*[[Cages]]
*[[Castle Gate]]
*[[Order of Fire]]
*[[Deity of Fire]] ([[Grail]] building)

===Creature Dwellings===

*[[Imp Crucible]]
*[[Hall of Sins]]
*[[Kennels]]
*[[Demon Gate]]
*[[Hell Hole]]
*[[Fire Lake]]
*[[Forsaken Palace]]

==Town Costs==

==Units==

{{creaturelist|Imp|Familiar|Gog|Magog|Hell Hound|Cerberus|Demon|Horned Demon|Pit Fiend|Pit Lord|Efreet|Efreet Sultan|Devil|Arch Devil}}

==Heroes==

===Magic Heroes (Heretics)===

The following [[Heretics]] are the magic heroes of the Inferno town:

*[[Ash]]
*[[Axsis]]
*[[Ayden]]
*[[Calid]]
*[[Olema]]
*[[Xyron]]
*[[Xarfax]]
*[[Zydar]]

===Might Heroes (Demoniacs)===

The following [[Demoniacs]] are the might heroes of the Inferno town:

*[[Calh]]
*[[Fiona]]
*[[Ignatius]]
*[[Marius]]
*[[Nymus]]
*[[Octavia]]
*[[Pyre (Hero)|Pyre]]
*[[Rashka]]
*[[Xeron]]

==Strengths and Weaknesses==

===Strengths===
* [[Castle Gate]]: A life-saver on maps where you control more than one Inferno town.
* [[Pit Lord]]'s [[Summon Demons|Demon summon]] ability: Lets you horde demons.
* [[Efreet Sultan]]s are very good at clearing a map: they have speed, damage, and enough health. They can also be used in a [[Dracageddon]] combo.

===Weaknesses===
*[[Arch Devil]]s are very expensive.
*Lacking in the [[:Category:Heroes|Hero]] department.
*[[Imp]]s and [[Familiar]]s are incredibly weak first level units, and have no redeeming features save their speed (the [[Familiar]]s' [[Magic Channel]] ability is hardly noticable).
*The Inferno produces the least hit points per week of all the towns.

==Strategies==

The [[Castle Gate]] is an enormous advantage. Use it. Often. One of the good things about it is that you only have to upgrade all the creature buildings in ONE town, just use a backup hero to teleport between the different towns to pick up creatures, then teleport to upgrade them all at once at the upgraded town.

Another good thing about the [[Castle Gate]] is that one hero can be used to defend all towns.

==Additional Information==

[[Alignment]]: Evil

[[Native Terrain]]: [[Lava]]
