Pirate Cavern is an adventure map location commonly known as a creature bank.

The guards are divided into five stacks (red hexes). There is a 50% chance of getting an upgraded stack in the lower left corner (C hex). All the guard stacks of the same speed attack in alphabetic order of these hexes. The hero's troops are located in blue hexes 1-7 (a tail hex for two-hexed creatures) according to stack positioning in the army slots 1-7. If the hero has less than 7 stacks, e.g. 3, they will be placed in hexes 1-3 no matter how they were placed in the army slots.

Though war machines are not present on the battlefield, they still provide their passive bonuses (i.e. the infinite shots effect from Ammo Cart and the First Aid/First Aid Tent health boost  ).

Slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated). The damaged stack's losses will not be redistributed among the others. If a stack was destroyed, it changes the guards disposition. Its place on the battlefield will be taken by the next one in the attacking order. (E.g.: If A stack was destroyed, B stack takes its place, C stack takes the freshly vacated place of B and so on).

In Horn of the Abyss, the object's level can be preset by a map-maker and the upgraded stack option may be toggled on or off.

Pirate Cavern is an adventure map location, and commonly known as one of the creature banks. It is guarded by 20-80 Pirates and 20-80 Corsairs. As a reward for defeating the guards, 1, 2, 3 or 4 Sea Serpents will join the hero's army. The more Pirates and Corsairs there are, the more Sea Serpents will join.

The guards are divided into four stacks:

A and D hexes: 10/20/30/40 Pirates
B and C hexes: 10/20/30/40 Corsairs

50% probability of getting the third stack of Corsairs in the upper right corner (A hex, instead of Pirates). All the guard stacks of the same speed attack in alphabetic order: from A to D.

The hero's troops are located in blue hexes 1-7 (a tail hex for two-hexed creatures) according to stack positioning in the army slots 1-7. But if the hero has less than 7 stacks, e.g. 3, they will be placed in hexes 1-3 no matter how they were placed in the army slots.

Though war machines are not present on the battlefield, the infinite shots effect from Ammo Cart is active.

Slain enemies do not respawn (should the hero retreat or be defeated).
