Cold Sun — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Cold Sun is a medium 72 by 72 map with an underground level, rated hard, for two players where only one can be human, so the Blue side is computer-controlled. There are no teams. Both Blue and Purple may draw from seven factions: Castle, Rampart, Tower, Necropolis, Dungeon, Stronghold and Fortress. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and the loss condition is the failure of one specific hero. The landscape is mostly snow, with rock and lava making up the rest. The map holds eleven towns, fourteen heroes, and a Grail, along with dwellings guarded by creatures such as Medusas, Red Dragons and a Rust Dragon. Among the placed artifacts are several orbs and a Cape of Velocity. The author's short description is a brief, reflective verse.
