Ekspansja — HotA 1.7.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Ekspansja is a huge underground map of 180 by 180 tiles for eight players, with five seats open to humans and three colors (Red, Blue and Pink) run only by the computer. There are no fixed teams, and the standard victory is to upgrade a chosen town, while a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. The author describes it as a story about a fallen tyrant and the successor who takes the capital rather than conquering every land. Factions range across Inferno, Dungeon, Necropolis and the various town types. The terrain is mostly rock, with snow, dirt and water covering the rest. Wandering Crystal Dragons, Hydras and Angels are among the strongest roaming stacks, and the map holds 41 towns, 19 heroes, 148 monoliths and portals and 118 mines.

Author's description

Każdy tyran kiedyś w końcu odchodzi, zostawiając po sobie chaos i pusty tron. Każdy tyran ma też swojego następcę, który twardą ręką narzuca pozostałym swoją wolę; chcąc być kimś takim, nie musisz podbijać kolejno wszystkich krain i miast, wystarczy zająć i ufortyfikować stolicę poprzednika...
