Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday — HotA 1.7.1+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Battlejuice 2.5 Mayday is a giant 252 by 252 underground map for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.1 and later, rated Impossible. It supports eight players, with up to three human participants, and the other five colors are computer-controlled. Players form four teams. Red plays Stronghold, Purple plays Cove, Teal plays Tower, and the remaining colors play Necropolis. Water covers about 42 percent of the surface, with snow, wasteland and rock making up much of the rest. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author warns that the AI receives a strong boost and that the map uses non-standard quests, with some tripwire characters triggering a chain of events. Notable features include 48 towns, the Grail, 75 mines, and a large number of wandering monsters, dwellings and artifacts.
