Dragons here and there — HotA 1.8.0

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Dragons here and there is a small underground-enabled two-player map for Horn of the Abyss 1.8.0 and later, set on a 36 by 36 grid that is mostly grass and rock with some dirt and a little water. The author has no name listed. The story is that dragons have taken the northern lands and each side must drive out the reptiles and settle the abandoned village of Liondell before the rival does. Two human players can join, with no teams and random factions for both Red and Blue, and the difficulty is set to hard. Victory requires capturing one specific town, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The map holds three towns, thirteen mines and a seer hut, along with several wandering stacks, including dragons of several colors, wraiths and a Magog. Two artifacts are placed by hand, and seven more are scattered at random.
