At Death's Door — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

This large underground map, measuring 108 by 108, is set in a world where the dead have flooded the living lands, and the only hope is to raise the Grail in a long-abandoned ancestral city. It supports eight players, but only one can be human, and the other seven are computer-controlled with no team alliances. Castle occupies three of the colors, while Necropolis, Rampart, Inferno, Conflux and Fortress each appear once. A player wins by constructing a Grail structure and is defeated by losing one particular town. Rock covers about 47 percent of the terrain and water about 29 percent. Players will encounter many wandering Water Elementals, dwellings for Azure and Crystal Dragons, 60 mines, and 22 monoliths and portals, along with the Grail itself.

(This map is taken from the catalogue heroesportal.net) The world is at death's door. Countless hordes of the dead have flooded the inhabited lands. The only way to prevent the end of the world is to build the Grail in the abandoned city of the ancestors - the Stronghold o' Saints.
