Escape from chains — HotA 1.3.0+

Escape from Chains is a medium underground map for Horn of the Abyss, built on a 72 by 72 grid and rated Expert. Five colors are placed, with four open to human players and Orange reserved for the computer, and there are no fixed teams. Each player's faction is random. The map is mostly subterranean ground, with rough, grass and swamp areas and only a little water. Victory comes from defeating a specific monster, and a player loses once all their towns and heroes are gone. Fourteen towns, eight pre-placed heroes, a Grail, and a Centaur's Axe are among the features, alongside many mines, creature banks, and monoliths and portals. The author suggests that the Orange player pick a castle different from the others for balance.
