Epic Duel — HotA 1.5.0+

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Epic Duel is a two-player map for Horn of the Abyss 1.5.0 and later, built on a large 108 by 108 underground level at Normal difficulty. Tomeczek set the duel during a war with the Kreegans in one of Erathia's notable provinces, and the map pits an Inferno player in Red against a Castle player in Blue, with no teams and no computer-only colors. Victory requires defeating all enemies, and a player loses by losing every town and hero. The terrain is mostly grass and lava, with some sand, subterranean ground, and about seven percent water. The map holds eleven towns, many mines and creature banks, and a Grail. Wandering monsters include magma and ice elementals, crystal dragons, and royal griffins, and placed artifacts include the Amulet of the Undertaker and two tomes of magic.
