Chapter 2: A journey beyond — HotA 1.5.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Chapter 2: A journey beyond, by Altherot for Horn of the Abyss 1.5.0 and later, is a hard, medium-sized underground map of 72 by 72 tiles. Kane has taken control of Isla Dominion and sends an army north to search for the Armageddon's Blade. Three players are placed, but only Teal can be human, while Red and Blue are computer-controlled. There are no teams. Red plays Tower, and Blue and Teal both play Cove. Rock covers about 43 percent of the map and water about 27 percent. Heroes are capped at level 15. Victory requires capturing a specific town, and a player loses when every town and hero is gone. Notable finds include the Dragonbone Greaves, the Ring of Conjuring, and the Shield of the Yawning Dead, plus 19 mines and 16 monoliths and portals.
