Blazing Archipelago — HotA 1.3.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Blazing Archipelago is a large underground map of 108 by 108 tiles, built for four players with no teams, each able to be controlled by a human. The islands are mostly rock, with water covering about 39 percent of the surface and a band of sand making up the rest. Players start with random factions and the map is set on the Expert difficulty. Victory requires defeating every enemy, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The terrain holds wandering monsters such as Fire Elementals, Mummies, Cyclops Kings and Water Elementals, along with fire-themed dwellings for Fire Elementals, Firebirds and Nomads. Notable finds include the Crown of the Five Seas, the Runes of Imminency and the Trident of Dominion, plus thirteen random artifacts, eight mines, and fourteen creature banks.

Author's description

Terrible heat, lack of resources and the constant danger of being attacked by sea creatures make these islands a truly godforsaken place. But what attracts the adventurers?
