| '''Whirlpool''' is an [[adventure map]] object, that can only be located on [[water]] [[terrain]]. It can only be entered with a hero traveling on [[boat]], and it instantly transfers the hero (and the boat) to another randomly chosen whirlpool. If there is only one whirlpool on the map, then the [[Boat|ship]] has no exit point; thus, the whirlpool simply destroys the hero's troops. | | ===Tips=== |
| | If you have a free slot, split of three of your weakest units to it. This will give you three 'rides' as cheap as possible. Since there are six squares on each Whirlpool, it's not unusual that they are placed in such a way that you can't get off of it, and have to take another ride. |

| When a hero enters the whirlpool, he loses 50% rounded up (i.e. is left with 50% rounded down) of the creatures in his army's weakest stack. The weakness is determined by the total [[Fight Value]] of the stacks. With [[Sea Captain's Hat]] or [[Admiral's Hat]] (only in {{sod}}), a hero can enter whirlpools without losing creatures. To avoid losses, a player may divide one of the most disposable troop to an individual slot, which naturally becomes the weakest stack and is therefore lost during the transfer. If a hero with only one creature enters a whirlpool, the creature will not be lost, making whirlpools "safe" for scouting heroes.

| Whirlpool consists of six [[square]]s which can be used to enter or exit the whirlpool. The exit square is selected randomly which may lead to a situation, where the boat cannot move outside the whirlpool squares after the teleportation. Note that the space key can be used in the {{ab}} and {{sod}} expansions to re-enter the current square to avoid unnecessary movement.

| '''Bug:''' In fact, the whirlpool has a certain limitation on the Fight Value of the stack, part of which may be lost - 99,999,999. For example, if a hero has only a stack of 1,776 Azure Dragons or more in the army (Fight Value > 100,015,440), then none of them will be affected by the whirlpool. For Crystal Dragons - 3305 (Fight Value > 100,009,300); for Rust Dragons - 4162 (Fight Value > 100,012,860); for Faerie dragons - 6129 (Fight Value > 100,006,893).
