Layout[]
In this final mission in Desert Heat, the desert is heated up to the fullest, where the odds are pretty much against you in all departments. You are placed in the middle of a map, you are up against 4 relentless enemies with no allies or support, and even the sun is scorching down on the high ground, where the resources are infavourably placed and the oasis grows barren. Metaphors aside, the map is composed of a central long ridge that it is elevated over the two other thirds. Each corner is taken by an adversary (clockwise: green Caliph, Sultana, the Rat, blue Caliph), which have one access to the ridge and an open ground to another estate on their respective side. There are oases in the center line and stone for every estate. The ridge estate also has access to iron ore.
