Archipelag Gondola — HotA 1.6.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Archipelag Gondola is an Extra Large underground-enabled map for Horn of the Abyss 1.6.0 or later, set on an archipelago of 144 by 144 tiles where water covers roughly 58 percent of the surface. Eight players compete, each playing a random faction, with no teams and no computer-only colors, so all eight seats can be human. The scenario is rated Hard, and victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses once every town and hero is gone. Among the 28 towns are sea-going threats such as Sea Serpents, Fangarms, and Haspids, along with Azure Dragons and Rust Dragons among the wandering monsters. The map also holds the Grail, a set of twelve named artifacts including the Trident of Dominion, and 122 mines alongside 194 creature banks.
