Alderski's Grand Skill Test v2 — HotA 1.7.1+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Alderski's Grand Skill Test v2 is a giant map, 252 by 252, with an underground level alongside the surface. Two players can take part, both of them human, and the game has no teams. Each side starts with a random faction, Red or Blue. The author built it as a test of skill and luck, using creature values to keep matchups fairly balanced, and it is set on Normal difficulty. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Most of the land is rock, highlands, wasteland and sand, with about seven percent water. The map holds 28 towns, two starting heroes, mines, creature banks and seer huts, plus artifacts such as the Horn of the Abyss and Titan's Thunder, and several dragon stacks roaming the land.
