| '''Terrain''' typically refers to one of the eight basic land types, which are grass, dirt, lava, subterranean, rough, sand, snow or swamp. Water and rock may also be considered as one of the basic terrains, although they cannot be traveled on by ordinary means. Traveling on water requires a [[boat]], while rock is impassable. | | {| align=right cellspacing=3 style="border:1px solid grey; font-size:90%; width:150px" |

| | |} |
| | |
| | '''Seer's Hut''' is an [[Adventure Map]] location, that offers a quest for the players to fulfill. Completing the conditions of the quest, and returning to the Hut, a hero will be prompted a question whether or not he wants to receive the reward. All your quests will be logged in the Quest Log. Returning to the Hut after having received the quest but before completing it, a hero might get a message that contains more hints about fulfilling the quest. |
| | |
| | There are several different types of quests available, that are: |
| | * Achieve certain [[experience]] level |
| | * Achieve certain levels in [[primary skill]]s (''They can be independent for each skill.'') |
| | * Defeat a specific hero |
| | * Defeat a specific [[wandering creature]] stack |
| | * Return with an [[artifact]] or artifacts (''They are lost when completing the quest.'') |
| | * Return with [[resource]]s (''They are lost when completing the quest.'') |
| | * Return with a specific number of specific creatures (''They are lost when completing the quest.'') |
| | * Be a specific hero |
| | * Be a specific color |
| | |
| | Also, there are several different types of rewards, that are: |
| | * [[Experience]] |
| | * [[Spell point]]s |
| | * [[Morale]] (+1/+2/+3) |
| | * [[Luck]] (+1/+2/+3) |
| | * One type of [[resource]] |
| | * Increase to one of the [[primary skill]]s |
| | * A [[secondary skill]] |
| | * One [[artifact]] |
| | * One [[spell]] |
| | * One type of [[creature]]s |
| | |
| | Additionally, the Seer's Hut can be set to reward the hero with nothing, but this defeats the purpose of having a quest to begin with. |
| | |
| | == Random maps == |
| | In random maps, all Seer's Huts will look for a random artifact located on the map. The rewards vary from creatures, gold or experience (33% chance for each reward on average). |

| == Magical terrains == | | '''Note:''' Not to be confused with a [[Hut of the Magi]]: |
| In addition to basic terrain types, there are several types of magical terrains, which can cover basic terrains providing additional features. Magical terrains typically affect [[combat]] or [[Spell|spellcasting]], with the exception of [[favorable winds]], which increases movement over water. | | *[[File: Hut of the Magi.gif|link=Hut of the Magi]] |
| Only two magical terrains (Cursed Ground and Magic Plains) were in the original {{roe}}, the rest being introduced in {{sod}} expansion.
| | |
| | == {{hota}} == |
| | In {{hota}} 3 more variants of Seer's Hut were added:<br> |
