Ciemnota — HotA 1.7.2+
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Ciemnota is a giant underground map by cuprumik, built for Horn of the Abyss 1.7.2 and later, and rated hard. It spans 252 by 252 tiles across two levels, with roughly a third of its surface given to rock and another third to water. Eight players can take part, all of them human-capable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Each player starts with a different faction: Inferno, Fortress, Stronghold, Rampart, Dungeon, Necropolis, Tower, and Cove. The standard victory condition is to flag every creature dwelling, and the game ends in a loss if time runs out after 280 days. The map holds 40 towns and 28 heroes, along with 132 random artifacts, 99 mines, and a large number of creature banks, monoliths, and portals. Wandering Fangarms, Wraiths, and Water Elementals are especially common.
