Divide et Impera! — HotA 1.3.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

"Divide et Impera!" is a large, impossible-difficulty map for Horn of the Abyss 1.3.0 or later, played on an underground level measuring 108 by 108. Four players, each able to be human, compete without teams: Red plays Inferno, Blue plays Fortress, Orange plays Castle, and Teal plays Cove. The author's note says the neighboring rulers distrust you and want part of your land, and that diplomacy will not settle the matter, so attack is the best defense. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Rock covers about 44 percent of the terrain, water about 25 percent, swamp about 12 percent, and sand about 7 percent. The map holds 8 towns, 24 mines, 22 creature banks, two monoliths or portals, and fifteen placed artifacts, along with wandering monsters and a quest guard.

Author's description

They say that the rulers of the neighboring provinces do not trust you... What's more, they dream to get a portion of your land! Of course, you understand that this issue is not diplomatically solvable and best defense is the offense.
