Devilish Gambit — HotA 1.8.0
Overview
Written from the facts in this map's file
Devilish Gambit is a medium 72 by 72 underground map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 or later, played at the Impossible difficulty. Its backstory follows a previously unknown commander who gathered an unusually powerful army, and the reckless choice that followed cost many their lives. Four players take part, but only one can be human. Blue, Tan and Green are computer-controlled, and there are no teams. Red, Blue and Green play Inferno, while Tan plays Dungeon. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses after losing all towns and heroes. Water covers 24 percent of the map and lava 17 percent. Notable features include the Grail, 35 mines, 14 creature banks, 9 monoliths and portals, and artifacts such as the Helm of Chaos and Cards of Prophecy.
