Big Bad {Evil} Guy — HotA 1.7.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Big Bad {Evil} Guy is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.0 and later, set on Normal difficulty. The author's description frames it as a succession dispute between two brothers, the elder heir with a taste for dark magic and the younger one, which ends in open war. Seven players are placed in four teams, with only one human seat and six computer-controlled colors. The factions include Inferno, Necropolis, Dungeon, Castle, Rampart, Tower, Stronghold, Fortress and more, spread across the colors. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The land is mostly rock, grass, dirt and swamp, with no water. Notable features include twenty towns, nine wandering Power Lich stacks, the Grail, and a number of placed artifacts such as the Shackles of War and the Speculum.

Author's description

Stary król umarł pozostawiwszy po sobie dwóch synów, starszego czerwonego i młodszego niebieskiego. Co prawda tron należał się czerwonemu, ale jego zamiłowanie do czarnej magii i totalny brak kompetencji do rządzenia sprawił, że między braćmi wybuchła wojna... reszta historii to już klasyka.
