Twenty-seven maps. There is no difficulty setting in Pyrewarden — the map is the difficulty setting, and these are the numbers that make one harder than another: board size, how many routes, how long they are, how much gold you open with, and the multipliers the map puts on enemy health, speed and gold.
Element weights decide which schools a map sends at you. A map that leans Pyromancy sends mostly Pyromancy enemies — so the school you most want to build is the one that counters its bias, not the one that matches it. On every tenth wave the bias is dropped and all twelve schools are equally likely.
Previews are the game's own map-select thumbnails: green is a spawn, red the goal, tan the route.
