Deathmatch — HotA 1.5.0+

This 18x18 swamp map is a free-for-all deathmatch for eight players, each controlling one of the eight standard towns: Inferno, Castle, Stronghold, Rampart, Necropolis, Dungeon, Tower, and Conflux. Every player is human-controllable, with no teams and no computer-only colors. The game is set on a single surface level and rated as hard. Victory requires eliminating all rivals, while a player is out once they lose every town and hero. The swamp is scattered with wandering monsters, most often Gnoll Marauders, along with Lizardmen, Greater Basilisks, Mighty Gorgons, and a Haspid. Dwellings hold Mummies, Nomads, and Trolls, and the map includes the Shackles of War artifact, eight random artifacts, two monoliths or portals, and two timed events.
